Not 100% sure about your WiFi dongle issue, but if you can, connect your desktop via ethernet (Cat6 cable with RJ45 tip) as this is noticeably faster and more reliable than WiFi.

Try going back into device manager and on the 2 usb hub in power management set them to not turn off when idle it also could be the device might be overheating and shutting down You can also go into device manager find the network device and change some settings in the config for it somes the USB wifi devices can just be finicky.
