Recently, some Win10 users reported that their laptops suddenly had a problem that the wireless network could not connect to the Internet. When they checked the network in the lower right corner of the desktop, they found that the WLAN wireless network card icon had disappeared directly. I tried to reinstall the wireless network card driver, but it still can’t be solved. I don’t know how to solve it. So how to solve the problem that the WLAN network icon is missing? Let me share with you the ultimate solution to the problem that the WLAN of the laptop Win10 system is missing and the wireless network cannot be accessed. This article has solved most of the user’s problems.

For the WLAN icon missing, the wireless network card or the exclamation mark cannot be found in the device manager, and the wireless network cannot be connected to the Internet. To solve it, you can try the following methods by yourself.

Solution one:

It may be that the airplane mode was clicked by mistake, which resulted in the inability to connect to the Internet. First, we can check the network in the lower right corner of the desktop to see if the airplane mode is turned on.

Solution two:

It may be that the wireless network device is disabled. Right-click “This Computer”, select “Management”, click “Device Manager” on the left column, and find the wireless network card in the network adapter. If the wireless network card device is disabled, right-click “Enable Device”. Or the wireless network function of the notebook computer is turned off. Some notebooks have wireless network icons on the F1-F12 keys. The location of each notebook is different. We only need to press the FN + wireless network key to turn it on or off.

Solution three:

If there is no WLAN column in the desktop settings and “Network and Internet”, we can first check the wireless network device in the device manager to see if there is an exclamation mark in the wireless network card driver, uninstall the driver, and restart the computer.

Specific method: Right-click “This Computer”, select “Manage”, click “Device Manager” on the left column, find the wireless network device with an exclamation mark in the network adapter, right-click and select “Uninstall Device”, and check to delete this device Generally, the wireless network card driver will be automatically installed to see if you can access the Internet.

Solution four:

Solution five:

This method solves most of the crowd. If the WLAN, Bluetooth icons, etc. are gone, and the network adapter in the device manager cannot find the wireless network card device or the light-colored icon, we can try to use the restart method to release static electricity. First, after shutting down the computer, unplug the power adapter and unplug the mouse, U disk, mobile hard disk, and other external devices in the shutdown state. Long press the power button (power button) and press the power button for about 15 seconds, and finally plug in the power supply and other peripherals, and restart normally.

Solution six:

Restart the computer to see if the Wifi network connection can be displayed, and you can go online after connecting to the network.

Solution seven:

The service about the WLAN wireless network is not enabled, please enable it in the service. Specific method: Right-click “This Computer”, select “Management”, find and click to enter “Services and Applications” in Computer Management, select “Services”, find WLAN AutoConfig, WLAN Direct and Network Setup Service, check whether it is running Run and start the service, if not, left-click the service and choose to start it.

The wireless network card option under the BIOS has four description methods: Wireless, Wireless LAN, Wireless LAN Support, and WLAN Device. Set it to “Enabled” (enabled), and remember to press F10 to save and exit. If it is enabled by default, you can turn it off first, turn it on and enter the system, and then restart to enter the BIOS to enable the wireless network card option.
