Conflict between USB ethernet and wifi

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S. I recently upgraded to Windows 10.

Sometimes I plug the laptop into a USB 2.0 docking station (Targus ACP51USZ), which includes ethernet access. But, after I disconnect the laptop from the docking station, the WiFi does not work. I have to go into Device Manager, disable the WiFi adapter and then re-enable it every time I want to connect to WiFi. The system says the drivers are all up to date.

Is there a way to resolve this conflict so the WiFi kicks in whenever I'm not connected to ethernet via USB?
