Windows 10: Wireless Network Adapter not showing in Device Manager or in Network and Sharing.

I bought a ASUS TUF Gamming F15 FX506LHB 1 year ago and the Network adapter has abruptly stopped working. It had been working fine beforehand.It is not showing up in Network and Sharing Centre. It was hidden in Device Manager. In fact the Bluetooth options have disappeared as well.So, i used Show hidden devices to show up and reinstalled the wifi driver. But it is not show up in Device Manager, even i use Show hidden devices again.Does this mean that the adapter is broken, or is it a software issue? I have tried lots of things, but nothing has worked so far, and much of the disc

  Properties.
• In the Driver tab, click Driver Details.
• Under Driver files, if the path listed ends with either k57nd60a.sys or k57nd60x.sys, or a variant of this file name, then please continue with the solution provided below.
  If it does not match these file names, the proposed workaround is not likely to resolve your issue.
  Please post the make and model of your PC, along with the driver file name, and the Driver Date and Driver Version listed in the Driver tab, along with an explanation of the symptom you are experiencing.

Vista or XP?

You need to go in and delete the network. Then it will pick it up again, and ask you to enter the key again.

On Vista, you do this by going into Networking and Sharing Center. The click on Customize, then click on Merge or delete network locations. Find the SSID of the router in the list, and delete it.

On XP, I believe you have to go to Network Connections, then right click on your Wireless Adaptor. Go to Status, and there should be a button to Manage Wireless Networks, that should take you to where you need to be to delete the network.
