Same issue occurs in my Ubuntu 20.04 on my PC, too. This doesn't happen in Windows system installed on the same PC. It just happens in every one or two hours without any specific steps. The only way to connect to the network is by hard resetting the machince which is very annoying especially when you are in the middle of something.

Sometimes network-manager crashes and I can't connect to any network. Restarting the network manager service via terminal hangs and even restarting the OS hangs and I have to force shutdown via power button. When I open settings > Wi-Fi it says: "Oops, something has gone wrong. Please contact your software vendor. NetworkManager needs to be running". I'm not facing the problem right now as I just restarted my laptop so if there's any information that I need to gather while this problem is happening, let me know. Thanks.
