Adapter not starting on boot

I may be overlooking something simple here or just can't get the right words together for a Google search, but I just bought the Netgear Nighthawk A8000 (wifi 6E) adapter for my PC. It works great, but every time I boot my PC, I'm having to unplug and plug back in to get the adapter started. Otherwise my PC won't have a connection. I can't find the settings to enable for start at boot and it's not appearing in my task manager to adjust. I just upgraded from the Nighthawk AC1900 dual band adapter, which used the Netgear Genie software to make tweaks. This one doesn't seem to be using that at all.

Any suggestions are appreciated!
