The WWAN network card should also be present in Device Manager. Click at the top on View> Show hidden devices, check if the network card is there. If it is here, update the drivers or uninstall it and then restart your computer.
Cellular hot button missing?

The cellular network button and connection worked fine for several years now, but noticed it is missing. SIM card is installed. It's a Dell Latitude 7285 running Win10 Pro 10.0.19041. All drivers are updated, and I've tried Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings and the cellular network does not show. Even went to BIOS, to see that the generic WW/GPS bit was enabled. It is all there. ((scratches head)) I tried to backout all the latest Win10 updates to see if that would help and to no avail. Help? I use this for work and I have to have the cellular network or I can't leave home. Ugh.
