  1. WiFi option disappeared from the settings overnight


    I switched on my laptop in the morning and I realized the WiFi is not connected, so I thought that maybe the WiFi disconnected itself. I went to the WiFi icon and it just says "Change settings, such as making a connection metered." and so I went to the settings, but I realized that the WiFi option is missing. So I tried going online searching for solutions, I've tried device manager, uninstall, reinstall and update but it didn't work. So I went to the system, restart the WLAN AutoConfig, but it still didn't work. So I went for support of a person, it told me to do system restore. It didn't work, it shows that I don't have a restore point. And now I'm lost, I need help fixing this. Thank you.

    :)
