Windows 10: Wifi Vanishes suddenly - Windows 11

"My wifi keep vanishing in windows 11 and i have tried all possible solutions found on net. Wifi is okay since other devices are working well.. Wifi option just suddenly disappears"

:)

 

WiFi settings vanished and Microsoft apps aren't working.

Hello there!
The problem I have was around for some time but now it's really starting to bug me.
So basically, the WiFi settings from my laptop have completely vanished and now it's replaced with 'Networks' in the notification center however, it doesn't detect anything and the switch of turning the WiFi icon on or off on the taskbar is greyed out from the settings. I've managed to find a way to access the WiFi menu again and it was either from the lock screen or that menu that opens when you press ctrl + alt + del. After connecting to my WiFi I decided to open the Microsoft Store but it said that I wasn't connected to the internet even though I was. I tried opening Microsoft apps and diferrent apps I had downloaded but all of them stated that I wasn't connected to the internet, even windows updates did the same thing. I did some digging around in the device manager list and I let it show my hidden devices then I found out that my WiFi software device was hidden. I checked it's status and it says "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)
To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer."
My WAN miniports have the same error too
and before suggesting to try troubleshooting it, I've tried it and it didn't work at all.
If someone could help me with this I'd be very grateful.

Thanks in Advance!

 

Windows Update suddenly hangs?

Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?

 

Wifi suddenly stopped working - strange result


Hi I recall that while my PC was on over lunch I returned to find those protocols had suddenly and without apparent reason vanished.

Why? Hmm, maybe there's a clue in your event log. Sorry, my crystal ball is down for scheduled maintenance*chuckle

Easy option (hopefully), avoiding use of a possible series of commands:
Download and install Tweaking.com's repair tool (free), lots of cautious stages beforehand. Observe accordingly.
Select ONLY network connection repair.
Run the repair.

If that doesn't work, here's a set of instructions for repairs:

1. Reset networking

Launch Command Prompt (Admin)
Copy the lines in the code box below
Right click in the Command Prompt window to paste
Code:
netsh winsock resetnetsh int ip resetnetsh int ipv4 resetnetsh int ipv6 resetipconfig /renewipconfig /flushdns
Restart your machine

1. Disable IPv6

Open Network Connections
Right click on the affected adapter(s) (Wifi, Ethernet, or each one of them)
Select Properties
Scroll down to Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
Remove the check mark
Press OK

Restart your machine

1. Reinstall TCP/Pv4

Launch Command Prompt (Admin)
