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

I have an HP All-In-One Windows 10. Today, I don't know what happened, but the Wi-Fi icon in the tray in the bottom right corner disappeared I've dealt with that before, so that's not the issue and then when I went to the "Network & Internet" tab in Settings, the option for Wi-Fi has disappeared aw well! I hadn't even touched the computer. I have reset the network settings and shut the computer down ONLY turned it off and restarted the computer multiple times, not reset the settings. Nothing seems to work.

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!

 

Wi-Fi does not show up in 'Networking & Internet'

There is no mention of 'Wi-Fi' in this selection screen!

This screen indicates only 'Airport Mode' and no 'Wi-Fi'.



It gets kind of difficult to follow some of the suggestions I have read regarding this issue without having the first step many of them mention. Have read various solutions and those that I can try I have with no luck. This seems to be a common problem for many users. I my original book from Verizon FIOS it has indicated my router IP address as: 192.168.1.1. This seems to have disappeared. I now see only an IPv4 IP with no mention of the original number.

I note that it also has an assignment of "LIKELY DYNAMIC IP". Could this be the problem with my geo-location issue??? Perhaps linked to that which I posted earlier about a similar matter. I am again wondering if the addition of an internal Wi-Fi network card would correct this problem as my M/B has no 'Wi-Fi' chip. It looks like somehow I have managed to get two problems (although possibly linked) here in this post. SORRY! and THANKS!!
