Windows 10: WiFi driver unresponsive, how to fix!

So I was using my laptop normally when I had shut the top of the laptop down and put the laptop on the nightstand normally. However, when I remembered that I had something else to do beforehand, when I opened it up again, the Wi-Fi button was suddenly gone. This isn't the first time this has happened, and I believe it is due to the fact that one of the drives is loose in the laptop and needs to be fixed or replaced. What method do I go about fixing this laptop? Or, better yet, since it is a 3 year old laptop, should I get a new PC?

Touch screen unresponsive after driver update

Dell SX2210T Flat panel touchscreen monitor unresponsive to touch after Automatic update of "NextWindow driver update for NextWindow 1950 UCS Compliant Touch Screen" in Windows 10.10240 and Tech preview 10.10525.

This is the wrong driver for this touchscreen but I am unable to find a means of uninstalling it.

It is not listed in the list of installed updates.

The correct driver is shown in Device manager for the screen.

Any suggestions please?
