The Wi‑Fi option has suddenly disappeared from my laptop, so I can't connect to a wireless network. Restarting the laptop didn't bring it back. What steps can I take to restore Wi‑Fi?

Try reinstalling the wireless network driver. Download the latest driver from your laptop manufacturer’s support website using another computer if necessary, then install it on the affected laptop.
Open Device Manager and expand the Network adapters section. If the Wi‑Fi device is disabled, enable it. Otherwise, uninstall the wireless adapter and restart the laptop so Windows can detect and reinstall it. A restart alone may not fix a missing or corrupted driver.
It came back after trying those steps. Thanks everyone for the help!
Thanks, I’ll give that a try.
