    OS: Windows 10

    Version: 10.0.18363 Build 18363


    So there was an automatic windows update and after the update I cannot access my Wi-Fi at all. I can only access internet via my ethernet cable.

    I even tried to update my driver. Tried troubleshooter. Restarted multiple times. Even restarted the wifi adapter via powershell. None of the methods worked. Initially when I start windows the Wi-Fi option is visible but when I click the button it disappears. The image is below:

    I then went to Settings>Network and Internet> Wifi , switched the wi-fi on and after a few seconds the wifi section disappeared

    I then looked at the network adapters - it shows code 10 error


    Wifi option not available in both taskbar and inside settings after windows update. Network... 34899701-98ed-493f-adda-0755f2f298de?upload=true.jpg


    So I tried to update the driver:


    Wifi option not available in both taskbar and inside settings after windows update. Network... 07ebf419-b042-4781-b8ef-1726848d373f?upload=true.jpg

    But it says the driver is up-to-date.

    I have encountered this issue before but mostly after updating the driver or doing a hard shut down it turns back on. However, this time its different and won't turn on at all. And this happened after the windows update before that everything was working perfectly.

    I even tried to uninstall driver and then reinstall it didn't work. I used the powershell and typed in the command: Restart-NetAdapter -Name "Wi-Fi 2"

    At first it seemed to work but again the same error occurred when I tried to access Wi-Fi. This problem seems to be due to the update. Everytime I start windows the Wi-Fi icon comes back but as soon as I click it, its gone.


    Can you please assist me and tell me what I can do to solve this issue. I have read other forums and tried to implement the fixes mentioned there but all in vain.


    Thank you for your support.

    :)

  3. wifi network list and taskbar wifi icon is missing after windows10 update

    after windows10 KB4486561 update my wifi icon and wifi list disappeared. My wifi is working very well though. I tried all suggested solution here:

    https://www.intowindows.com/fix-wireless-icon-missing-from-taskbar-in-windows-10/

    and here

    Windows could not start Error 1068: The dependency or group failed to start the WLAN Auto Config serviceon the local computer.

    but none of them worked for me. Also I tried to start "network list" service but it popped up error message and it didn't work either. How can I solve this problem?

    here is my icon list from settings :

    ..and here is my taskbar

    WiFi appears in Manage Known Networks, not in Show Available Networks

    The list of WiFi connections shown when you click the WiFi icon in the taskbar is a list of all the signals that can currently be seen by the WiFi adapter. The list in Manage Known Networks is a list of all those you have previously successfully connected to, whether or not they are currently available.


    The only plausible explanation is that for a while that WiFi signal had been turned off.
