I'm having a major issue with my laptop running Windows 11. Out of nowhere, it stopped connecting to the internet and keeps saying that there are no connections available. When I check the bottom right corner where the Wi-Fi, sound, and battery icons are, the option to connect to Wi-Fi doesn't even appear. I've tried restarting my laptop multiple times, running the network troubleshooter, and even checked the device manager, which says all my network adapters are functioning fine. I also reset the network settings, but nothing seems to help! I really need my computer for college, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Don't stress too much! It sounds like this is probably a software issue rather than a hardware problem. First, can you tell me if this is your personal laptop or a school-provided one? If it's your own, try pressing Win + R, type in `cmd`, and hit enter. Then enter `ncpa.cpl` to see what network adapters show up. That might give us a clue about what's going wrong!
It's my own Lenovo laptop! I checked `ncpa.cpl` and here’s what I see: [image link]. Any thoughts?
