My Wifi Adapter had Suddenly Disappeared
I have Windows 11 on a Dell Inspiron laptop. All of a sudden my Wifi adapter is gone. It was working fine last night and when I woke it up this morning, no Wifi adapter available, only Bluetooth. I have been using a Qualcomm adapter for years without any problems.
I have searched Device Manager and no wireless adapters there, it's listed in the program list in Control Panel. I had uninstalled and reinstalled it, no change.
Any suggestions/comments on how to get it back will be much appreciated.
Thank you.
