This sometimes happens to me when I boot up my laptop or restart, even if I haven't done anything in Windows for days. What usually happens is that my system doesn't try to connect to our WLAN when my system starts, so I have to start it manually. Even when I use the "nmcli" command it can't "undo" the hardware switch.
