Windows 10: just run microsoft update and my wifi settings went missing

I have spent 30 minutes switched off wifi in house so can't use anything

still not corrected when I turned it back on although phone and work computer not affected only laptop so it can only be the update

checked using phone to find different resolution

there is no WIFI option in my settings so most of the on line help really isn't

have uninstalled the update and laptop now working again

why does microsoft interfere with my wifi settings?

Wifi settings are missing

Hello,

My Wifi settings are missing. I tried the steps as given in: Wi-Fi settings are missing in Surfacebut
that didn't solve the issue.

Here some details:

• Windows 10 home / 1709 / 16299.125
• I installed all Windows udpates.
• In device manager I don't see under networkadapter the Marvell Avastar.
• The troubleshooter didn't solve the problem.
• Problem started a week ago, reason is unknown.
• I don't know which surface I have, or what surface even is.

Hopefully someone can help me to get the wifi settings back, need internet wireless.
