    Accidentally disabled my wifi connection, and now i cant reconnect.


    I was attempting to figure out how to fix my internet connection, and there was an option which said disable, which i thought would temporarily disable my connection and allow me to simply reconnect. i hit that disable button, and all of the wifi disappeared from my laptop. i physically have turned the wifi on and off multiple times, but the internet connections box wont even show a wifi option. i connected with an ethernet to the internet, and it works fine. i dont know how to reenable the wifi on this new windows 10 system, since i just got it yesterday. i am using an older acer aspire 5742-6814 laptop. please help.

    :)

    Accidentally disabled my wifi connection, and now i cant reconnect.

    Does the wifi driver show in device manager with a down black arrow or is there an unknown device.

    If you restart your laptop it should come back.

    Hi,
    Press 'windows' key and 'R' and in the run command, type 'ncpa.cpl', press enter. In that, you should see your disabled connetction, just right click and enable it.

    Cheers.

  11. What if I do that and it comes up and there is no wifi option. Just Bluetooth and Ethernet?
