wireless adapter not installed and configuredI was on the internet, using my wireless capability, when suddenly and out of
nowhere my computer says I have no internet connection, and it was not picking up on any of the multiple available networks. When I did the "diagnose why windows cannot find any additional networks" it told me I didn't have a wireless adapter installed and configured. I followed the steps to using Windows Update, but no improvement. My computer says the driver is fine and doesn't need updating, so where is my wireless and how do I get it back? Hi

Many laptops have a --often hard to find-- switch or key combination to enable / disable the wireless connectivity. Maybe you have accidentally activated that switch ? -- Kind regards, Gerard Bok
