Windows 10: Help! Home WiFi suddenly stopped appearing in list of networks to connect to

My windows 10 laptop suddenly stopped showing my home WiFi network and thus I’m unable to connect to WiFi on this machine. Other networks are appearing in the list, and my home network appears on every other WiFi device I have in the house. For some reason, only on my windows 10 laptop I cannot see it. I can connect to the internet via hardwiring to the router, but that’s it.

So far I’ve tried performing all windows updates, and I even uninstalled the driver for my WiFi card and reinstalled it via windows update. That didn’t do anything unfortunately. I also tried going to “manage known networks” and adding it manually, specifying the SSID and selecting the appropriate security type and supplying the password and it add it as if it found it but doesn’t connect unfortunately. Idk what’s going on, any help is greatly appreciated.

WiFi appears in Manage Known Networks, not in Show Available Networks

The list of WiFi connections shown when you click the WiFi icon in the taskbar is a list of all the signals that can currently be seen by the WiFi adapter. The list in Manage Known Networks is a list of all those you have previously successfully connected to, whether or not they are currently available.

The only plausible explanation is that for a while that WiFi signal had been turned off.

 

Wifi card suddenly stops with no error

(note: restarting the laptop fixes this until it happens again) this is something that happens randomly, I'll be doing something (usually requiring internet) and all the sudden the wifi card disappears from the connections list. I cannot see why this happens and it seems to happen randomly with no pattern. Opening device manager to the wifi card says that it has an error code 14 and that I need to restart to fix it, if I go the the details tab under Status I get these messages

and under problem code I get this

this is fixed by restarting but this happens 2-4 times a day and gets really annoying

 

Wifi suddenly stopped working - strange result


Wifi stopped working suddenly on my desktop. Now I have to connect with cable to the router but when I open Network Connections it still says the wifi is connected and working. The Ethernet connection has the name of the Wifi SSID.

If I open the details of the wifi connection it says there is no0 IPV4 or IPV6 connectivity although these are checked.

What has happened?
