Windows 10: My available network name/connection disappeared

My available network name/connection disappeared. I use my cell phone as a hotspot and I usually connect my laptop automatically with no problems. All of a sudden out of nowhere my network name is not showing up at all so whenever I turn my hotspo on on the cell phoneI log on my laptop, turn on my Wi-Fi, go to my available networks..... and it's not there. I tried connecting my other laptop to the same network and it works!! It just does not work anymore on my main laptop. So I know it's not the connection, it has something to do with windows or the laptop. Please help!!! Right now I'm resetting my PC to see if that will work.

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.

Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.

 

Losing network connection

Hello Dear, if you have a laptop or a PC with a wireless network adapter, you can see a list of available wireless networks and then connect to one of those networks. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

2. In the left pane, under Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
In case, If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Refresh network list. If you see the network but the signal is weak, move the PC closer to the wireless router.

3. Click the network you want to connect to, and then click Connect.

4. If you're connecting to a secure network, type the security key, and then click OK.

I Hope you solve out your query soon.
