I have an Ubuntu 20.04 installation that was working fine for some months. Today morning everything was okay, but now, when I turn on my laptop and connect to the Wi-Fi, it suddenly freezes completely and I cannot do a single thing. From mouse to keyboard, everything gets stuck.
Now I am using mobile tethering and the internet is working fine, which shows that it is some driver issue. These are my wireless adapter's drivers:
Any solution or help is highly appreciated.

I somehow got my laptop back to normal. These are some of the random steps I followed.
- Turn on LivePatch
- Update the Ubuntu
sudo apt-get update- Updated the headers
sudo apt-get install --reinstall git dkms build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) - Reboot
sudo reboot
Now wi-fi is working normal and laptop is not getting stuck.
