Windows 10: Missing wifi and network adapter

My laptop just froze recently and restarted. It booted up and the wifi icon is gone. I troubleshoot it and it tells me to install a network adapter. Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter, you will need ti re install the driver. I don't remember the network adapter name but know it is gone when i check the network adapters in device manager. So don't tell to uninstall it or rollback because it is gone. I have tried restore, flush dns, or the change to automatic for wwan. Please help. I don't know why this suddenly happen. I am on windows 11 home.

Safe Mode with Networking - No network - No WiFi adapter...

I'm not sure what build they made the change in . I have tried every suggestion I found and nothing worked. When in Safe Mode my wireless network doesn't even show up so I can't choose it as a option.

Edit: I just tried booting into Safe Mode. The network icon had a X in it. When I clicked on it the only option was Airplane Mode.

I can't find the Intel WiFi drivers because I don't remember exactly what version I need and the automatic installer doesn't detect the adapters as missing.

Safe Mode with Networking - No network - No WiFi adapter...

- in which build did this occur?

I have 1903, on a laptop as you can see from my specs. Safe Mode with Neworking (Wi-Fi) works, but there are a couple of steps to get it working. It's possible using an adapter on a desktop is a different matter, I suppose.

This is what I see- your experience may differ.
