Is My WiFi Driver Totally Shot?

Asked By TechNinja247 On

Hey everyone, I accidentally closed my laptop without shutting it down and left it plugged in overnight. Since then, I've been dealing with all sorts of WiFi issues—random disconnections and sometimes my laptop doesn't even find any WiFi networks, even when I'm right next to the router. When I game online, I notice a lot of packet loss and lag. I've had to reset the adapters frequently, but now the driver has completely stopped working. I've tried reinstalling the driver, restarting adapters, and turning the laptop off and on again, but nothing seems to help. Weirdly enough, when I click on the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar, it disappears. Am I looking at a dead driver here?

Have you tried going to Settings, then Update & Security, and running a scan for updates? Sometimes it can find new drivers for you.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I've already done that a few times with no luck.
