Windows 10: Display adapter not detected, Uninstalled from device Manager

My laptop is not detecting my Nvidia GPU.

Everything got worse as soon as I watched a tutorial which made me uninstall the display adapter after I found it in the “Hidden” tab in Device Manager . No trace of the graphic card is to be found now.



I have tried so many solutions and heres a list of some:

-installing nvidia drivers, but since the card is not detected, I am unable to install Nvidia drivers as installer doesn’t find any compatible hardware.

-I have done a windows reset keep my files on tho

- Updated Windows to latest version

- tried the windows repair ISO thing


Thank you

:)

Wireless adapter not found in Device Manager

I ran the Lenovo Solution Center. Network Adapter was not listed in the hardware scanned. Not sure if there is a separate listing for that normally or not.

Ever since I ran a power cycle the adapter has not appeared in the Device Manager.

Does anyone believe removing the adapter and putting it back would solve the issue? I would rather not open my computer if there is little chance of it solving the issue. I am a complete novice doing this.

Not sure if this is relevant but in my Network Adapter in Device Manager there was "Microsoft Kernel Debug Network Adapter". It has since disappeared.
