    Wifi / Wifi icon has left my laptop


    Hi i have a hp probook 4530s. I recently installed a new norton security package upon restart the wifi icon amd every thing to do with wifi has dissapeared. There is a wifi on off button on the keypad area and when i press it, all that seems to happen is the Bluetooth turns on/off i have looked in the network adapters amd nothing is there. Its like wifi option has just got up and left my laptop. I recently upgraded to windows 10 and when i went to the hp support site they dont provide drivers for windows 10 as i was going to try install the drivers for wifi again. Im stumped can anyone help?

    :)

    WIFI adapter

    Good day!

    I just wanted to ask, if the WiFi adapter is missing how do you recover or enable it without turning off or restarting the pc?

    We still have our WiFi connection turned on but my laptop won't automatically connect. The WiFi icon has been replaced with Ethernet which has a red "x" sign. This happens when I shutdown my laptop or put to sleep mode.

    The only way for me to see the WiFi icon again is to restart my laptop so many times.

    I have been experiencing this for like a week now.

    I have Windows 10

    Thank you in advance

    I remember seeing a post on the HP Forums about this, but just now, I can't find it. From what I remember, this was a known problem with the new Norton security package. You should check the Norton security forums to see about this as they probably have a fix for it.

    That is like asking Microsoft for a fix.

    Andyt, if the icon cannot be turned on in Settings, then remove Norton.

    You will find that third party Internet Security packages do not play well with Windows 10.
