Reposting because I need this fixed and the last person who responded isn't responding back. Hello so I have been having an issue for a few days now and am hoping someone is able to help me. I have a fairly old laptop you could say lenovo thinkpad though I haven't had many problems with it as it runs well. To get to the point I cannot open my internet settings but every other settings in the app works. I am also unable to connect to my wifi because the wifi icon has disappeared. My issue is, I cannot open internet settings and cannot connect to my wifi since the internet settings won't ope

Laptop won't show list of available networks

We suggest checking the list of available Wi-Fi networks on your laptop.

Please follow these steps:

• Click the Windows logo.
• Go to Settings (gear icon).
• Select Network and Internet.
• Then Wi-Fi.
• Make sure the Wi-Fi radio button is On.
• Select Show available networks, then you'll be able to see the list of available Wi-Fi networks.

Unable to open internet settings and no list of available networks.

Hello so I have been having an issue for a few days now and am hoping someone is able to help me. I have a fairly old laptop you could say (lenovo thinkpad) though I haven't had many problems with it as it runs well. To get to the point I cannot open my internet settings but every other settings in the app works. I am also unable to connect to my wifi because the wifi icon has disappeared. My issue is, I cannot open internet settings and cannot connect to my wifi since the internet settings won't open up. What also has happened is that there is no list of available networks. This seems to be an issue with just my device as my other laptop (a Dell) works fine. I can list some things I have already tried to do to fix the problem with my settings not opening/crashing as soon as I open it.

I've tried these following methods to fix my laptop (mostly things found on YT):
-restarted windows explorer
-restarted network connections and issues
-restarted settings app
-still doesn't work when creating a new windows user account
-ran dism cmd (/scanhealth and /restore health)
-ran (getpackage command)
-reset all windows apps
-cleared cache
-cleared app data when reset all with getpackage commands
-used registry editor and made explorer file (set value to 0)
-used scannow commands
-uninstalled Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 Wireless Network Adapter (was reinstalled after deletion)
-ran ping cmd (ping 127.1.1.1)

If you have any solutions please let me know it would be very helpful and appreciated!
