Windows 10: HP Pavilion 15 Gaming running Windows 10 20H2 No Longer Connects to the Internet

Hello! I am suffering from an issue regarding my WiFi connection. After powering on my computer, I found that it was no longer connected to WiFi. This is not unusual, as my computer frequently disconnects from the Internet after powering on or after restarting. However, instead of displaying the usual list of network connections, it just displays a link to Internet and Network Settings in Settings and a button to turn on Airplane Mode. I tried the usual fixes; restarting, attempting to update drivers, and more. Here are the following things I tried.

• Attempting to update all my drivers in Device Manager. I searched for them automatically and Windows said the best drivers for my device were already found. There was a little yellow warning triangle next to the majority of them, but I have no idea what that could mean.
• I reset my network connections, as in made Windows uninstall and reinstall all my drivers. This yielded no results.
• I went to control panel to enable network finding or whatever it's called. I thought this would allow my computer to find some networks, but this did not work either and the problem continued.
• I typed netsh wlan show networks into command prompt. All it said was "No network connections found."

I'm at a loss. My laptop is basically useless without a connection to the Internet. I have to use my school Chromebook for basic browser tasks, but there's not a whole lot I can do without a connection to the Internet.

HP Pavilion 15 (bc516ns) crashes while gaming

Hello!

I have a HP Pavilion 15-bc516ns, Windows 10 v1909 (18363.900) installed yesterday having previously deleted all and every partition of the SSD. I installed the drivers from HERE (audio, chipset, graphics and network), and after that I connected to internet to let Windows Update do the rest. My BIOS version is up to date.

I've been having this problem for more than a month, with many windows fresh installs, and even send this laptop to HP support. They said there was a problem with the GPU, and replaced the motherboard. Still, the same issue persist. They refuse to give software support because the laptop was sold with FreeDOS and not Windows.

HP test suite (HP PC Hardware Diagnostics) showed no hardware problems, yet an OCCT 3D test running on the GTX 1650 detected errors after no more than 5 minutes. I've been able to run it for more than 2 hours with no errors detected after I underclocked both core and memory clocks by -100MHz with MSI Afterburner.
With this "stable" frequencies, I played Black Mesa for about 1 hour, before I got the crashes I've always had. I attach the events logged in the time between the crash happened and the PC came back to normal.
I haven't installed this time Payday 2 or Borderlands, but they were causing the same issues after some minutes of play. I've even had these crashes watching Discord streams.

Any help, hint, advice is really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Diego

 

Upgrading to Windows 10 from windows 7 and losing internet connection

Did you run the Windows 10 connection troubleshooter?

Troubleshoot Internet connection problems

Also, check in the "Device Manager" to see if the network adapter is ok.
You may need to un-install it and then "Scan for new devices".

This is published by HP; however, it gives some good info on troubleshooting with the device manager.
