Cellular data network missing on laptop

Hi,​

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues related to cellular data network



In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below:

• What is the make and model number of your laptop?
  
• As said that when battery is plugged out, the cellular data option disappears even without turning off laptop, so does that mean that if battery is physically removed from back of laptop, laptop keeps running?
  
• Do you want to use cellular data on low battery or without a laptop battery?
  
• Are you aware of any recent changes on the PC prior to this issue?
  

Please provide more information regarding the issue.



For some information:

Cellular/SIM connection not available/disappearing

Hi,

A faulty cellular adapter is one of the possible reasons why the cellular connection is disappearing from the laptop. A disabled adapter in the Network Connections Settings can also be the cause of this issue. We suggest you to enable the cellular connection
in the Network Connections settings. You can follow the steps below:

• Press the Windows key.
• Type View Network Connections.
• Press the Enter key.
• Right-click on the cellular adapter and click Enable.

Cellular

Hello,

We understand that you want to access the internet using your cellular connection. To do so, you should have a data plan from a mobile operator. Refer to this article on how to access the

cellular settings in Windows 10.

Since the Cellular option is not showing under the Network & Internet settings, you can run the Network troubleshooter as an initial troubleshooting step. This will help diagnose and resolve common connection issues. Here's
how:

• In the search box on the taskbar, type Network troubleshooter, and then select
  Identify and repair network problems from the list of results.
• Follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if you will be able to see
  Cellular option under the Network and Internet settings.

Feel free to let us know on how it goes for you. We'll be more than happy to assist further.
