Windows 10: WiFi adapter missing from device manager

I have a HP Pavilion 15- AU084TX laptop. Win 10 . The wireless adapter from device manager is missing. The adapter is Intel dual band wireless ac-1365. Today, i was using wifi and suddenly wifi option went missing from the settings and the computer. Then i tried to update the adapter but i didn't work. I uninstalled it and restarted the laptop. The adapter was missing but it should be there as it is supposed to be after restarting the pc. Pls help urgently. I've been facing this problem for quite some time.

wifi adapter missing from device manager

Yesterday all of a sudden, My wifi got disconnected. It seems the wifi adapter is missing altogether from the device manager. I tried

1. restarting the laptop
   
2. re-installing the wifi drivers
   
3. Check hidden devices in device manager
   
4. Check windows 10 setting and tried resetting the network
   
5. Tried driver update with Driver Easy and DriverPack
   
6. Tried running netsh commands
   

None of the above worked. Also after successfully installing the driver and restarting the laptop. The freshly installed adapter is also not showing in the device manager.

I have gone through many posts and vlogs regarding this issue but none of them solved my problem. Please help me fix this. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

 

Wifi adapter disappears - goes 'hidden'


Running Windows 10 on an Acer laptop. Over the past month, the wifi connection dropped without explanation/warning.

First time, the adapter was visible in Device Manager (with a yellow triangle next to it). An interent search found the suggestion to uninstall it and restart. That worked.

Today, the connection dropped again. In Device Manager at first I could not see the wifi adapter listed. I clicked to see hidden devices and found the adapter and the Bluetooth (which I had not noticed was missing).

I again uninstalled, restarted, and both the wifi and bluetooth have returned.

Anyone any ideas as to what is happening, why it's happening, and what I need to do, please?

I have attached a screenshot of the DM windows as it is now, showing the wifi adapter name, etc.

Thanks very much

Cannot see wifi adapter on device manager anymore

Hi,

Missing adapters on device manager can be caused by several reasons. To further isolate your concern, kindly answer the questions below:

• What troubleshooting steps have you done?
• Were there any hardware/software changes made on your desktop prior to this happening?

In the meantime, we suggest that you connect your computer, using an Ethernet cable, directly to your modem/router to download and install the latest drivers from HP's support site.

We look forward for your response.
