Windows 10: Missing WLAN Driver

Hello, so to begin with this whole ordeal, in the morning I booted up my computer, however I noticed there was no wifi, so I tried fo reconnect, but there was no option to show WiFi connections, just Bluetooth, airplane mode and other things I didn't need. I tried multiple things to figure out what was happening, when I finally came to the conclusion that I'm missing the realtek WLAN Driver adapter. I wasn't really sure how to fix this but I got an idea to reinstall the driver from my motherboards manufactur website, but I couldn't use my pc since now wifi was gone. Ethernet or a USB was out

Hp Envy Driver missing

Hi Mohsin,

• Are you referring the missing driver as the High Definition Audio device
  with a yellow mark in the screenshot?

This issue could have happened due to corrupted driver files. Let's try reinstalling the driver and check if the driver can be recovered. Follow the below steps to re-install the driver.

• As you are already on the device manager, right-click on High Definition Audio device, and select
  Uninstall.
• Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.

If the issue still persist, I suggest you to run the hardware troubleshooter and check if the issue is resolved. Follow the below steps to run the Hardware troubleshooter;

• Type troubleshooting in the search tool.
• Click on Troubleshooting tab.
  
• Click on view all option on the upper left corner.
  
• Select the Hardware and
  Device options from the list.
• Click Next to run the Hardware
  and Device Troubleshooter.
  

Let us know if you need further assistance, we will be glad to help you.
