Hi,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having this problem. The operating system makes the "Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter" a virtual device that lets you use Wi-Fi Direct capabilities like screen mirroring (Miracast) and Mobile Hotspot. It depends on the driver for your real Wi-Fi adapter.
Thanks for sending the picture. It proves that the "Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter" is not in the list of network adapters you have right now.
I just want to check on this and also some methods to fix this problem:
Have you looked to see if the adapter is just buried or turned off? You might try right-clicking the Start button, opening Device Manager, and then going to View > Show hidden devices. Then, you can look for the Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter, which should be shown with a number like #2. Have you tried right-clicking on it and choosing "Enable device" to see if it fixes the problem?
Did you attempt scanning for hardware changes if turning it on doesn't work? In Device Manager, click on the Network adapters category, then click on the Action menu and choose Scan for hardware changes. Does the virtual adapter come back after this?
You can also use this link for reference and fix.
