Windows 11 WIFI options and Airplane Mode all disappear

I purchased a new HP Envy Laptop in late April 2022. All worked will with no problem for 4 weeks or so. Then one morning, all my WIFI options and networks were gone. The WIFI networks option did not show in Internet Options at all. I took it in and the technician updated the drivers and supposedly that brought back my network options. Several weeks later it happened again. All WIFI options are gone including the WIFI option itself. The Airplane Mode is viewable but cannot be selected to be changed. This second time the technician stripped all my data again and updated the driver again and was able to "restore" the WIFI and Network selectors. I even asked if I could have Windows 11 removed and Windows 10 installed on my new pc but was told that wasn't an option. All my data was lost both times except for my backups.

Now it has happened for the 3rd time. No WIFI options show under Network & Internet and my computer than not find the 10-12 WIFI options that are normally available including my own. My only option was a inexpensive ethernet connection to my router which works for now. But why does the WIFI section of Network & Internet on Windows 11 disappear?
