Hi Team,
I need help in resolving my wifi adapter as it is not working which is a common issue for windows 10. I tried to restart my computer a number of times.
I am getting this option and unable to fix the issue.
I tried to open device manager but I am not able to see the wireless adapter at first glance like the below screenshot
But when I select "show hidden devices" then my network wifi adapter comes as per the below screenshot.
I found the Qualcom wireless adapter which is hidden and tried to update the driver as per the below screenshot
I installed the software but still my system is not recognizing the wifi adapter.My wifi connections are not coming
It is mentioning that my wifi adapter is unplugged by referring to drivereasy updates option
Could you please resolve my wifi network adapter issue by referring the screenshots and suggest a good solution for resolving the issue

Hi, I'm Bianca, an Independent Advisor for Microsoft, an expert and a Microsoft user like you. I'm happy to assist you.
The network troubleshooter in Windows 10 is a useful tool to resolve network issues. Just type network troubleshooter on the search bar. Look for "Identify and repair network problems". Follow the instructions and run the network troubleshooter from there.
I hope this helps. If not, let me know if this does not work or if you've tried this already.
Thanks, for your valuable time. The commands did not resolve the issue after restarting my laptop.
I have a talk with dell support guys and they do diagnostic test by pressing f12. then the guy asked to press f2 to check whether my wifi is showing or not. At that moment, it showed and my wifi device name came in the bios
But when I re-started my computer, I saw the same issue occurred and wifi is not detected in bios. It is showing error 45 as per the screenshots
Could you please give me an alternative solution if possible
