Windows 10: WIFI option disappears

Hi, Since last few days I am facing a problem on my laptop. The wifi option automatically disappears from everywhere. Its as if the hardware part is taken out. Its getting worse day by day. I would have to shutdown and again reopen for it to come. It mainly happens when I don't do any activity or leave my laptop locked or in sleep modebut once it has happened while using the internet.

Wifi option disappeared

My laptop no longer has the wifi button, it only allows me to use the internet using Ethernet. When I looked for the wifi option is the network settings, it is completely gone, all I have is the VPN, Ethernet etc. The methods that were listed didn't help
me with this problem.

Please help.
