Windows 10: wifi and apps not working after update

My system did an update on 7/14/20 and uninstalled my wifi adapter. It shows in the log for the adapter, the same time stamps as the update. I have installed and reinstalled drivers but they wont finish install. It says system cannot find specified file. I have tried the intel driver and the driver specifically for my laptop from hp. I uninstalled the update but it also didnt fix the problem. I tried for 4 days to fix my computer and then turned it off for a week. When I turned it back on, it did several more updates, including reinstalling the update I removed. Now none of the apps on my computer work, no calculate, no video player, no mail. I cant play any movies, it says cant find file however I try to open it. I have no ethernet port, I can only connect to the internet using my usb from my cell phone. My laptop is basically useless except to browse the internet and cant even do that by itself. Please help.

Can't connect to wifi after Windows Update

I have now tried all of the suggested steps at least twice.

The only instance of seemingly achieving any progress was the first time I performed a clean boot, when the wifi connection actually worked. But after that, I tried following the steps to isolate the problem and then after restarting the computer, all of
my wireless features have disappeared again. I have tried repeating the entire sequence of steps again, but the wifi hasn't worked again. It just worked that one time, but I don't know why it was different that time.

I have been trying to fix this for over 11 hours, but haven't been able to connect back to wifi.

I would like to know if rolling back the Windows Update is an option and, if so, how to do that and how to prevent Windows from updating again.

 

WiFi settings vanished and Microsoft apps aren't working.

Hello there!
The problem I have was around for some time but now it's really starting to bug me.
So basically, the WiFi settings from my laptop have completely vanished and now it's replaced with 'Networks' in the notification center however, it doesn't detect anything and the switch of turning the WiFi icon on or off on the taskbar is greyed out from the settings. I've managed to find a way to access the WiFi menu again and it was either from the lock screen or that menu that opens when you press ctrl + alt + del. After connecting to my WiFi I decided to open the Microsoft Store but it said that I wasn't connected to the internet even though I was. I tried opening Microsoft apps and diferrent apps I had downloaded but all of them stated that I wasn't connected to the internet, even windows updates did the same thing. I did some digging around in the device manager list and I let it show my hidden devices then I found out that my WiFi software device was hidden. I checked it's status and it says "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)
To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer."
My WAN miniports have the same error too
and before suggesting to try troubleshooting it, I've tried it and it didn't work at all.
If someone could help me with this I'd be very grateful.

Thanks in Advance!
