    PC has suddenly lost any reference to availability of Wifi


    Hello, my WIndows 10 PC has suddenly lost ability to connect to the internet, on further investigation i cannot find any reference to wifi at all in the settings, the wifi tab has disappeared, the only connectivity it seems to be aware of is via ethernet cable. It sometimes shows a greyed out flight mode box in the action centre, I have tried about a dozen different techniques to fix that but none have worked and this seems to be a slightly different problem as there is literally no reference to wifi anywhere any more. I didn't make any changes when this happened,

    :)

    WiFi appears in Manage Known Networks, not in Show Available Networks

    The list of WiFi connections shown when you click the WiFi icon in the taskbar is a list of all the signals that can currently be seen by the WiFi adapter. The list in Manage Known Networks is a list of all those you have previously successfully connected to, whether or not they are currently available.


    The only plausible explanation is that for a while that WiFi signal had been turned off.

    "WiFi- Show Available Networks" does not list wireless routers anymore

    It is good to be cautious at all times. To set an expectation regarding the concern, the
    network lists or saved network profiles should not be affected by the steps. But in order to be sure that everything will be safe and sound, please refer to the following links:

    I noticed that there are good new suggestions. It is best to give each of them a chance.

    Regards.

    URGENT HELP NEEDED! HDD suddenly became blank!

    Hey there, @Shamonto Hasan Easha!

    I'd try re-plugging the hard drive and checking if the cable is damaged. I'd also suggest to try plugging the drive in another computer and see if it gets recognized properly there. Is it a IDE or SATA drive you're using?
    If the drive is unallocated, this means that the partition has been lost after the power went down.
    Check out this thread for more ideas on how to solve the issue. There are some detailed steps there that might be useful for you:

    Hope this helped.
