I turn on my laptop and my wifi was not connected, so I go to turn it on through the little pop up where Bluetooth airplane mode and nightlight and all that stuff. Btw its windows 11. I try to turn it on, the wifi lights on but it says not available, so I go to the settings and there is a little slider to turn on the wifi. That also doesnt work everytime I slide the wifi on it slides left over and over and over again. I tried unistalling and reinstalling the wifi adapters, I went to see if the wifi is still connected, it is, but it keeps saying not available, even though it should automatically when I turn it on, but for whatever reason the button is glitched or something or maybe I got hacked. Does anybody else has this problem, thanks

I see. Based on what you said, it can be still a driver issue. Not necessarily an outdated driver, but Windows may not install the correct version of driver, so it can be glitchy. If you share the screenshot I was asking for, I can hopefully help you find the driver you need. I also wouldn't recommend using third party driver app, always stick with manufacture driver instead.
Im not sure where the wifi adapter was taken from, but before my wifi adapter was outdater and it kept disconnecting I downloaded an application to automatically update my drivers and problem fixed. However there is a part I left out, sorry, but my computer recently had a virus, me not having much knowledge about that stuff I decided to reset the pc and it was gone for good. It was working fine the adapter was fine the day before yesterday. Ever since yesterday I can't connect to my wifi. I troubleshoot and it saids wireless turned off. But i cannot turn it back on no matter how many times I press the button
Hello, this is Emily.
Have you tried downloading the wifi adapter driver from the computer's manufacture website for your model? Install the driver that way instead.
If your computer doesn't have ethernet option, you will need to download it via a different computer, and then transfer with a USB flash drive to install.
If you need help finding driver, please type msinfo32.exe in the search on the taskbar and hit enter, then share a screenshot of the pop up please.
