Step 1:Go to "Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Power Options > Change Plan Settings > Change Advanced Power Settings".Step 2:Expand "Wireless Adaptor Settings > Power Saving Mode" and make sure it is set to "Maximum Performance".Step 3:Expand "USB Settings > USB Selective Suspend Settings" and change Setting to "Disabled".
My adapter kept disconnecting even after I tried everything on this form finally I disconnected my external hard drive and for some reason it did not disconnect for a week. I plugged my external hard drive in and it disconnected 10 seconds later. I tried that with 3 different external hard drives one brand new and it still disconnects as soon as I hook one up. USB flash drives did not do this neither did anything else I had up to my computer. I don't know if this will help anyone else but that's what I figured out.

You can see in a previous post, I resolved the problem and have not had a single issue since.
- Like I said I tried everything on this forum including hooking it up to a USB 3.0 and it still disconnected until I unplug my external hard drive
