It’s okay please follow these steps:-

  1. Click on the Search Bar of your Windows Where it says “Type here to search”.
  2. Now in that search box type “Command Prompt”. Open the Program named Command Prompt.
  3. Once that’s done there should be a black window opened on your computer.
  4. Inside that black window type this command as it is and then press the enter key on your keyboard:-

netcfg -d

Note: This command will basically reset your Network settings and will most likely fix the issues you are having with you Network Adaptor.

If it doesn’t work for you and you still don’t have WiFi try disconnecting the ethernet cable and check to see if the WiFi shows up.

If you are facing these kinds of issues with your computer, I suggest you do a full clean install of your Windows as the virus may be hidden in your work files or normal Windows files because sometimes viruses integrate themselves to the “.exe” files. Also, re-installing should fix the issues you are having, if you don’t want to re-install or clean install your Windows let me know which network adaptor you have.

God damn… thank you for answering a question about a fundamental function of Windows OS that Microsoft leaves to be very unclear to all of it’s users. I’ve seen this question and complication go unresolved for users for as long as that function has existed; it most definitely should be delimited from that list. If it get’s automatically initiated, it’s very stupid that it remains in that list of options and should only be resevered manageable for script, programming or powershell purposes.

It might prevent some Bluetooth devices from connecting
