Windows 10: Missing WiFi after I restarted my laptop

I restarted my laptop and then later on I turned it back on and it shown that I had no WiFi so I tried researching all night and till now why it won’t show the WiFi icon and nothing

:)

 

Windows 10 wifi not turning on Acer Aspire laptop

In order to get the list of available wireless networks, you have to:

1. Switch on Connect to suggested open hotspots (see the screenshot in question);
   
2. Click on Wifi icon in the right corner. Now you have your networks back.
   

After that the parameter from Step 1 can be turned off, networks will be listed normally after restarting Wifi.

P.S. I feel rather stupid at the moment. I thought that open hotspots are passwordless hotspots and so are presumably not very safe. So of course I've turned that off during installation.
Really hard to see any logic in this case.

 

Laptop Randomly Restarts / Turns Off and comes on with No Wifi

Hi Hassan,

This problem most likely results from a malfunctioning driver for your WiFi adapter. We can get more background about why you are experiencing this by looking into several factors why the adapter fails to run correctly. Kindly answer these questions:

• Do you get any errors when the laptop restarts?
• Did the problem start after installing updates or new programs?
• Have you noticed if the restarts are triggered by certain programs or operations?

We can run the Network Adapter Troubleshooter to find and troubleshoot errors with the WiFi adapter on your laptop. Here's how you can perform the suggestion:

• Click on Start.
• Type Troubleshooting then press Enter.
• On the left panel, click on View all.
• Choose Network Adapter and allow the troubleshooter to run.

Let us know if the tool finds anything.

Regards.

 

Wifi adapter disappears - goes 'hidden'


Running Windows 10 on an Acer laptop. Over the past month, the wifi connection dropped without explanation/warning.

First time, the adapter was visible in Device Manager (with a yellow triangle next to it). An interent search found the suggestion to uninstall it and restart. That worked.

Today, the connection dropped again. In Device Manager at first I could not see the wifi adapter listed. I clicked to see hidden devices and found the adapter and the Bluetooth (which I had not noticed was missing).

I again uninstalled, restarted, and both the wifi and bluetooth have returned.

Anyone any ideas as to what is happening, why it's happening, and what I need to do, please?

I have attached a screenshot of the DM windows as it is now, showing the wifi adapter name, etc.

Thanks very much
