Windows 10: Why did my Internet settings get removed in the latest update?

Hello! So my Windows got updated yesterday and since it updated, my computer has been unable to connect to the internet and the settings seems to have removed the option to connect to the internet. It has been replaced with Ethernet settings, in which I have no ethernet cable. Been trying to deal with this problem since last night, talked to Microsoft Support Team and still could not fix this issue. Is there a solution to this at all?
