i have been using my pc as normal and needed to restart it. on reboot, any and all wifi options have completely disappeared. i figure it's a driver issue, but no windows updates have been at all useful. is there anything i can do about this?

Thank you for the screenshots, the MediaTek WiFi drivers are not installed correctly.

Below is the support page for your motherboard on the Asus website, from the Wireless section, download the installer for the WiFi drivers, then use that to reinstall the MediaTek WiFi drivers, if you currently have no Internet connection on your PC, you will need to download the driver installer on another device.
