Windows 10: Wifi connection issues after the update

I think I’ve tried just about every restart method, network diagnostics and uninstall I can try and nothing will help connect my laptop to wifi, I don’t have an Ethernet cord and if I try and use personal hotspot the button automatically shuts itself back off, my only option is airplane mode and Bluetooth and I have no clue what to do

When will the wifi connectivity problems be solved?

Hi Wabbles and welcome to Tenforums.

I've got 4 systems connecting via wireless; all adapters are different makes; all have zero issues, and two of them are old (wireless-G only). Most every issue I have seen with wireless connections has been driver-related. (Or, impending router failure.) I would suggest identifying your adapter model/make, and searching for different drivers that you can try out. And, sometimes an older driver works better than a newer one (just had this issue on a system I was working on yesterday). Also, verify you have these same connection issues when connecting to different routers, just to rule that out.
