Windows 10: Can't see any wireless internet connections after updating Windows

Hello, i updated my windows build to 19041.450, and now my computer doesn't detect any wireless internet connections. I am able to gain access to the internet via an ethernet cable. No, airplane mode is not active.

If i go to Advanced network settings > Change adapter options, then it only shows bluetooth network devices and Ethernet 2. (Picture 1)

If i go to device manager and click on Network adapters, it seems like something regarding wifi is missing. (I have clicked show hidden devices) (Picture 2)

If your wireless router has a built in firewall maybe it's somehow set to block the ports that Windows updates use?

I'd also suggest if it works with it being directly connected then you could try resetting your router to see if this fixes the issue.

That's my 2 cents anyways. *Smile
