Windows 10: No wifi appearing.

I'm having an issue where no networks are showing up, not my own or any of our neighbours. My laptop was fine when I left this morning and i just came back to this.For Ethernet and Local Area Connection its saying network cable unplugged but i dont fully know what that means or how it just randomly happened.

Wifi network not appearing after recent Win 10 monthly patch

Someone else on another forum suggested I switch the wifi freq on my Android Nexus 5x. So I switched it from 5ghz to 2.4 and it worked! Problem solved. Now my Nexus hotspot is again appearing in my Win 10 list of available wifi networks. So problem was with Android and not Windows.

Can't uncheck WIFI "Connect Automatically"

Hi,

Have you tried removing the network from the list? Your network credentials may still be saved on your Wifi settings.

We suggest you to remove the preferred network and reconnect it. Follow the steps below:

• Press Windows icon.
• Click Settings.
• Select Network and Internet.
  
• On the left pane, click Wifi.
• Click on link Manage Wifi Settings.
• There is prompt, click on Manage known networks
• Select the network you want to forget.

Once you remove the network it will no longer appear on the list. You may need to reconnect it, if you want.

Let us know how it goes.
