Asked By CuriousPanda77 On

I noticed that when I booted up my PC yesterday, the Wi-Fi icon was missing from the bottom right corner of the screen. I thought it might just be a minor glitch, so I reset my PC hoping it would resolve the issue. Unfortunately, when I started it up again, not only was there still no internet connection, but I also encountered additional problems—specifically, the internet settings crash every time I try to open them in the settings app. I've tried all the troubleshooting methods I can find on YouTube, but nothing seems to work. Any advice would be appreciated!

First, try opening the Device Manager and check under Network devices to see if your Wi-Fi adapter is showing up. Make sure there aren’t any warning symbols, like a yellow triangle or a red ‘X’. If everything looks fine, it's worth checking to see if the drivers are updated or need reinstalling. Sometimes that can fix hidden issues.

Yes, the Wi-Fi adapter is there and shows no issues at all. I've been through everything it feels like, even reinstalled the drivers and it hasn’t helped.

Are you using a laptop or desktop? If it’s a laptop, sometimes there’s a physical key or switch that can disable the Wi-Fi. Check your keyboard for any special function keys that might toggle the adapter. Also, dive into the BIOS settings; there might be an option to enable or disable the Wi-Fi from there too.
