My network adapter driver is deleted after a windows 10 update.

I updated the windows 10. I restarted to install the updates and used my PC as usual for about 2 hours the switched it off and went to sleep. Today when I tried to connect to the internet I can't do it, not wifi sign anywhere. And when I opened device manager > Network adapters there is no driver for my network adapter. Attached a before and after pictures of the device manager window.

And I think "Broadcom BCM943228HMB 802.11abgn 2x2 Wi-Fi Adapter" is network adapters name. 

Forgot to add I reset my PC and the picture with the driver is before I updated windows to a current version.

How did you go back in time and take the before shot?  did you preempt this exact failure?

Check your BIOS. In some devices, the WiFi/BT part is electrically turned off when the ethernet adapter is plugged in.

 

Reinstall the driver

 

If that doesn't work, ROLL BACK the updates to the day before it disappeared, install the latest version of the network drivers. Then reinstall the updates.

Yet another victim of windows update breaking things. You may need to Google that driver on the internet.

My windows update removed the audio driver and after reverting to an older version from an external backup it's still missing! 

Can someone explain that?
