Fix WiFi Adapter Missing In Windows 11/10 | Get Back Wireless Adapter

[@Edward-W]

I have struggled with this exact issue since yesterday. I've looked up several different support forums and lists of workarounds that I repeated with no results. After going through all of those methods a few times and about 36 hours of frustration I found this video while at the same time I was inspecting the network card on the motherboard and seeing whether physically removing it and re-attatching would change anything (for the third time). Surprise surprise, it somehow worked! The Wi-Fi came right back after restarting as if nothing had ever happened. So I didn't end up actually needing any of the advice in this video, but since I came here and was grateful to see options I hadn't seen suggested before (like the power flush), I'll say thank you! Videos like yours are a wonderful resource for people having these kinds of issues. I hope more people find them before accumulating too much stress! :D

[@sandeepsingh18]

Thank you for your inputs, it will help others.

[@DreadedPlayz]

I’m to the point where I think I need to replace the WiFi card in the motherboard, haven’t tried a power flush yet though. I’m going to try tomorrow. I spent about 5 1/2 hours straight trying to figure this out

[@Edward-W]

@@DreadedPlayz good luck! It really is kind of arbitrary as to what ends up working. Hope everything goes well.

[@arohan635]

The below steps did the job for me: 1. Changing the status of WWAN Auto Config to Automatic and Running (My WLAN Auto Config was already set to Automatic and Running) 2. Running cmd as an Administrator and executing the command "netsh winsock reset" 3. Restarting the computer Thanks for the above video... was extremely helpful!!

[@olusegunodebiyi2981]

I just helped a colleague in the office resolve her laptop wifi issues by watching your video. You are the best.

[@Loom1701]

You're a lifesaver. I did everything and lost hope. But then I pulled out the battery and flushed the power. Worked like a charm. Thanks a million.

[@nature_en]

I did every option he suggested and lost faith then I power flushed the laptop and now its working

[@SillyGoose_Gaming]

I was absolutely terrified but your video helped me so much! Draining the battery and restarting worked like magic for me. I would genuinely be so lost without youtube channels like yours. Thank you for your clear instructions and in general just for doing what you do

[@sandeepsingh18]

Glad it helped!

I tried all of the steps in the video since evening and the "power flush" worked for me at 11:00 pm.Thanks.

[@soulhealer4922]

Thank you, it took me a couple of hours of troubleshooting from your videos but my Wi-Fi finally came back on.

[@b108b]

I’ve been having this problem all year round and each time there’s a different hack that works for me but eventually happens again😢 sometimes just shutting it down for the night is the best, does anyone know how to permanently fix it?

[@aiphen2572]

You're a real one. I've had this issue for like two weeks and following your video fixed it right away. Thank you so much for making this.

[@Avi-nr1um]

At 3:13 what you suggested, worked for me. Device manager > Action > Add hardware > Intel corporation > install wifi hardware manually by selecting driver model. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@popacatalin3036]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING! I was desperate, the last two days were a nightmare! Making WLAN AutoConfig running brought back my will to live

[@Edward-W]

I can relate deeply. These last 36 hours have been STRESSFUL lol. The relief I felt seeing all of the wireless connection options pop back up was pure catharsis

The power flush worked I've been trying things for 2 days trying all different methods sometimes multiple times. The power flush reinstalled my network adapters, and my wifi works now.

How do yo u find the manufacturer and model of your hardware device please at 3:12

3 mins into the tutorial, my Wifi option appeared. Thank you brother😊

[@alexeypotanin5294]

Great guide! Really covers all basis. Only comment I might have is that there are problems with the Command prompt when you try to -d. On windows 11 it’s supposed to be /d but that doesn’t seem to do the trick either.

[@LadyLiberty4U]

Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!! My friend tried different methods for over an hour (all of our other devices were connected to the LAN); found your video (on my laptop) and she was able to follow your directions and her laptop took over and finished the re-install and reboot by itself! Bless you for your clear and concise directions! 🤗🤗🙌

[@Soccerstu44]

Thank you SO much for this very straightforward and helpful video! I tried each approach 1-5, but it was the Power Flush (approach #6) that finally worked. Thank you SO much!

[@susinaab]

The power flush worked like a charm. This video was the only helpful tutorial about this issue I have found! Well done and thank you!

[@MrKingpin4006]

Yes the power flush was the only thing that actually worked for me.

[@saiswayamshree]

this problem happens on my tuf a17 laptop only when I start playing valorant. everything is fine until the match just starts my wifi adapter disables. then i have to go to the device manager and try to enable the wifi adapter, which fails most of the time, for which i got a workaround, that was to boot into safe mode and then restart again back to normal and start valorant. this fix also works only sometimes, and i receive penalty from valorant regularly. i am literaly fedup. unfortunately i cant try powerflush since my laptop doesnt come with a removable battery, but i wlll try the other fixes. thanks for the video i needed it the most
