Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.


It is necessary to investigate this issue to understand the reason for it.


Please do the following:

(Maybe you didn't find the adapter because it might be hidden.)

  1. Press "Windows + X" and select "Device Manager";
  2. Click on the "View" menu and select "Show hidden devices";
  3. Expand "Network adapters";
  4. If the Wi-Fi adapter is listed, right-click and select "Properties". Check if there is an error in "Device Status". If you see an error under Device Status, please share a screenshot.
  • If you can't identify your PC's Wi-Fi adapter, share a screenshot of the network adapters.
  • Use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool. Or take a picture of the screen using a camera or smartphone and share it.

Also, share a screenshot of your system information.

  • Press "Windows + R", type msinfo32 and press Enter.

Maximize the window and use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool. Or take a picture of the screen using a camera or smartphone and share it.


I await your reply.
