Network & Internet option missing

Question

Hello Microsoft Team,

Been dealing with this for a while where I don't have an option for Network & Internet on settings. I normally don't mind it missing on settings but now I need to set up my own personal hotspot to connect my phone. Now I really need it to show up on settings. Please see photo attached as a reference. Thanks in advance.

Windows version: Windows 10 Pro Version 21H1.

Answer 1

Kind of odd because it only opens settings for me.

Answer 2

No changes made ever since I've installed Windows 10 Pro. But no problems with internet connections since then. So I'm not minding the Network & Security not showing up. Network adapters are showing fine on the device manager. No errors.

Hi Chris,

That is very odd. In the Device Manager, do you see Network adapters? How long the issue has been and did you make any changes just before the issue started?
