Windows 10: WiFi not showing

I just downgraded from windows 11 to 10 with my files saved, and multiple bugs happened. 1st, my brightness now doesn’t work, But most importantly, the WiFi is gone. I use an HP laptop 17” with a Ryzen processor by the way. When I try to look at Device Manager, there is no WiFi adapter. Only Bluetooth. I’ve also tried to reset my network and it also didn’t do the trick. I do have a windows 11 installation system but that also requires network. The control panel also doesn’t show the WiFi button either. I’m looking to get back to windows 11 as soon as I get my WiFi back.

• Turn on/off "Connect to suggested open hotspots".
• Uncheck "Show a notification banner when action is needed from me".

Let us know if it works.

 

Recommendation for WiFi usb / card

If you have a desktop computer I would STRONGLY suggest a PCIe adapter rather than a USB adapter if you go with WiFi 6. The only USB WiFi adapters that I have seen thus far use a Realtek chipset which is reported to have some serious flaws. In my own personal experience, I have tried 2 of these and returned both, getting performance worse than other WiFi 5 adapters and constant disconnects even 10 feet from my WiFi router. If you go with a USB adapter, I would suggest a quality WiFi 5 adapter. One more note: Should you decide to go with a WiFi 6 PCIe adapter, I would suggest a WiFi 6e model. They actually cost no more, and they are one step up just in case you ever go to a WiFi 6e router.
