Windows 10: My wifi icon has disappeared, airplane mode and bluetooth have stopped working, and I don't...

Today when I opened up my Asus ROG Gaming Laptop, I noticed my wifi icon was missing. I clicked the icon in its place, and this is what appeared:





No networks or wifi to connect to, just this. As you can see, airplane mode is grayed out. When I go to my settings, there are bluetooth settings but if I try to connect to any device it simply says "bluetooth is not enabled", however the button to switch bluetooth on and off is also missing. And when I try to go to my wifi settings, there are simply gone. I cannot access any wifi or connection to any network except through an Ethernet cable.


I don't know what to do. I have been looking online for tips for over 2 hours now and literally nothing has helped. Please do not tell me to go to my device manager and check for updates on my wireless adapter. First of all, it's not there. And second of all, if I check for updates under "Network Adapters", nothing happens. That clearly isn't the problem.


Please do not tell me to go to my notifications and actions tab in settings and click "turn system icons on or off". That option isn't there. I have the "Network" action on, but it doesn't show up in my task manager for some reason.


I have tried installing bluetooth and other wireless drives from this acer website: https://www.acer.com/ac/en/PH/content/support and that didn't help.


Please don't tell me to restart windows explorer. Already tried that. I've also already tried restarting my PC, several times, usually after being told to press win+r and typing in "services.msc" or something like that. I feel like I have tried everything and I don't know what to do.


Yesterday I was trying to find settings to lower the contrast of my screen, and it took me all over the place. So I suppose it's possible I may have accidentally enabled an option that is causing all this commotion. Any ideas on what option might have cause my wifi, airplane mode, and bluetooth to stop working?


Any advice besides the ones I've listed above would be greatly appreciated.

Airplane mode with Bluetooth ON?


Is there a way to keep Bluetooth on in the airplane mode? My application is on a cruise ship where I would like to easily turn WiFi off using the convenient airplane mode selection and leave Bluetooth on for my mouse on my Venue 10 tablet.

 

Airplane mode impossible disconnect


Good morning,
since my daughter (2 years old) switched on airplane mode last week, I'm no more able to switch it off and go back to wifi connection.
no more WiFi / airplane mode icons in wifi window on the taskbar, no more airplane mode option on network settings...
everything disappeared, apart from the airplane mode icon in the right corner of the screen, which I can not switch to WiFi mode...
sorry for the print screen in Italian.
thanks,
giorgio

 

Turn On or Off Airplane Mode in Windows 10


I tried all steps and avenues above to turn Airplane Mode OFF of my Dell PC (equipped with bluetooth/wifi), and Airplane Mode with Windows 10 is always on. Even when I try to click to slide it off, it still slides back to "on". I do not see the Airplane icon however, and also I don't notice any wifi connection issues with my computer as that's how I connect to the internet, so I guess I'll leave well enough alone. Just don't understand why it's always on and wont let me slide it to the off position.
