Windows 10: No Wi-Fi option in Network & Internet settings

I just finished building a computer and I installed windows. I skipped the connect to a network part because it was telling me something about an ethernet cable which I do not have. Now I am on the desktop with no wifi and no option for the wifi. I am in network and connection and it does not give me a selection of networks like it would on a laptop. this is possibly the least user friendly operating system I could have picked. from what I see on the internet I need to download some drivers on a different device but i do not have a different device or a usb stick.

Wi-Fi Option Not Showing in Windows 11

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with my Windows 11 device where the Wi-Fi option is not appearing. I have tried several troubleshooting steps, but none have resolved the problem. Could anyone please provide guidance or suggest potential solutions? Here are the steps I have taken so far:

1. Restarted my computer.
   
2. Checked for Windows updates and installed any available updates.
   
3. Verified that the Wi-Fi adapter is enabled in Device Manager.
   
4. Ran the network troubleshooter.
   

Despite these efforts, the Wi-Fi option is still missing from the network settings.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help.

 

Under Settings, Network & Internet: option to set WI FI On or Off is not shown

I use a Rogers Hub (router) wireless for internet; it was working perfectly yesterday with Windows 7!

Just downloaded Windows 10 this AM

I can access the internet if I connect the hub directly into my Toshiba laptop; however, I cannot access on a wireless basis.

I've gone the troubleshooting ............. no success!!!

One of the recommendations: Go to Settings, then Network & Internet ............. ensure that WI FI is ON

BUT the WI FI option is not displayed on that list.

Hope someone can help me.

Windows 10 stop automatically connecting to random new wi-fi networks

Hi,

I have searched a lot, but all the tutorials I found only explained how to not connect automatically to a known wi-fi network or how to disable wi-fi sense... but this is not what I am looking for...

PROBLEM:

• When my laptop (Windows 10 Pro X64) is not connected to a network and the wireless adapter is on, it will automatically connect to any random new unsecured wi-fi network... The only way I have now to avoid this is to disable my wi-fi adapter.

UNUSEFUL TUTORIALS I FOUND ON THE INTERNET:

• How to manually uncheck the option for a particular wi-fi network not to connect automatically in Network Properties. This is not what I am looking for. This would suggest that everytime I power my computer. I would have to manually go through all the available wi-fi networks and unclick them all...
• How to disable Wi-Fi Sense. This is not useful, because I don't even have a Wi-Fi sense option in my computer where the tutorials say it should be.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:

• I am looking for an option to tell my computer to stop connecting randomly to unknown wi-fi networks like an hyperactive, reckless idiot.

PERSONAL COMMENT:

• Honestly, why would any respectable company think that it could be somewhat wise or secure to do this... Anyone's computer could just randomly connect to any hacker's wi-fi network without the user even knowing it...

Any solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
