Windows 10: My wifi's gone

I came home today from visiting my relatives house and turned on my laptop to see that I wasn't connected to the wifi. Of course I brushed it off because I just turned the thing on, but it never automatically connected. I was very confused so I went to click on the "Network & Internet settings" to turn on the wifi. You would normally see on my laptops 3 options, one that i forgot about, 2 for the wifi, and 3 for airplane mode, when i opened the settings I only saw airplane mode, Yes I refreshed, yes I restarted and yes I tried to sit it out for a long time.. nothing worked. Now if this is a driver problem, or an update problem, Then my laptop is probably a goner, since driver and normal windows updates need wifi, as far as I know.. So if anyone knows what's going on, or how to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

 

wifi icon missing on windows 10.

I tried all the suggestions listed beforehand and my wifi icon has gone from the notifications area as well as the list in the settings for the task bar and notification area. does anyone know how to get it back? none of the suggestions so far have worked.

 

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.
