Hi

I was connected to the internet through my WiFi connection but suddenly the PC restarted after which Windows wasn't showing any wireless networks (see image 3). When I went inside PC settings, it displayed a message (see image 1) that there no wireless devices on this PC. Even in the taskbar instead of the WiFi icon, the LAN icon is displayed. And under PC Settings/Connection, only Ethernet and VPN options are displayed (no wireless connections).

I do not know what went wrong. Is there some external switch to turn on the network adapter? Can anyone provide me a solution?

OS: Win 8.1
PC: HP Pavilion 15

[EDIT] In image 1, now Bluetooth device is shown after auto install of an HP update, but no WiFi networks.

Is this a Laptop?

If it is, one of the function keys should turn WiFi on/off, on mine it is Fn+F2 (has a sort of WiFi symbol on it)
