Wifi not connecting?

[Kaleb Janzen]

Hi! So I have a problem with my Wi-Fi on my laptop. I was playing some Minecraft with my friends when the wifi cuts off and says no connections avaialble. I check my settings and it doesn't detect a wifi adapter like it did before

 

what's wrong?

First off, I know it's a meme and a simple thing but, have you tried rebooting?

 

If that doesn't work, bearing in mind that this is a laptop and that most if not all laptops have a hardware radio switch of some sort, is it possible you bumped a button by accident that put it into airplane mode or otherwise disabled wifi?

Tried that and there is no physical buttons for wifi/airplane mode and my laptop is so slow there is no way I could accidentally clicked a button

Hm, did any updates get installed recently?  It could have caused a disconnection like this.

The page below lists some other common suggestions, but none of it feels quite right to me.  Still, might be worth a try:

I also noticed you listed your laptop on your profile and tried to have a closer look at it.  It's actually quite similar to one I have, and in particular the F3 key caught my attention.  At least, I think that's what it is - the only picture I could find is dreadfully low resolution so it is hard to tell.  If it's what I think it is though, it would toggle wireless capability as I described previously.  Perhaps it would be worth double checking this?

Now sometimes I've had issues on my own laptop (completely different btw) where windows kinda has a death and doesn't want to show any detected wifi networks.
