Hey everyone, I've been dealing with this annoying issue where my WiFi button just disappears randomly on my PC. I had it fixed for a day, but then it happened again last night. After booting up, there's no WiFi, and it usually disappears again after about 5 minutes of fixing it. I've tried a bunch of different solutions from this forum, YouTube tutorials, and troubleshooting guides, but nothing seems to work. Would a full factory reset help me out, or is it better to just take it to a repair shop and hope they can fix it?

Have you tried reinstalling your WiFi drivers? Sometimes that can do the trick and solve disappearing WiFi issues.
When the WiFi icon disappears, check the Windows Event Viewer to see if any drivers are crashing. That could give you a hint about what's going wrong.
Could you list out all the fixes you've already tried? It helps to know so we don’t suggest stuff you’ve done already. If there are any that you've missed, I could throw in some new suggestions!
I mostly followed the guidance from this post, plus a few others I can't fully remember. They were probably the same fixes as this one.
Yeah, I did that. I downloaded drivers from both Intel's and Lenovo's websites, but it still didn’t fix the problem.
