Windows 10: Solution: Wi-Fi icon and functionality missing

After trying several troubleshooting steps without success Device Manager, reinstalling drivers, checking BIOS, etc., I found that the issue was caused by a recent Windows update that removed or broke the Wi-Fi driver.What worked for me:I rolled back to a previous version of Windows, and that immediately restored my Wi-Fi functionality and the missing icon.To do this:Go to Settings > System > Recovery.Under "Go back to the previous version of Windows", click Get started.

Wi-Fi Option Not Showing in Windows 11

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with my Windows 11 device where the Wi-Fi option is not appearing. I have tried several troubleshooting steps, but none have resolved the problem. Could anyone please provide guidance or suggest potential solutions? Here are the steps I have taken so far:

1. Restarted my computer.
   
2. Checked for Windows updates and installed any available updates.
   
3. Verified that the Wi-Fi adapter is enabled in Device Manager.
   
4. Ran the network troubleshooter.
   

Despite these efforts, the Wi-Fi option is still missing from the network settings.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help.

 

Wrong wi-fi icon?

what if you try a simple disabling of the wifi network connection then enable it again and see if the icons change? It shows the Broadband connection as disabled anyways, so I cant think that would effect the icon status of the enabled wi-fi.

 

wi fi connection

After windows 1903 update I don't have any wi fi connection or icon showing and have tried many suggestions on how to get it, but none have worked.

Can you provide a step by step instruction on how to get wi fi icon and network.
