Troubleshooter doesn't work because it doesn't know that the computer even has wifi - there are no 'wifi' troubleshooting options that come up, only 'network cable' related troubleshooting because it doesn't see the card anymore. When I did this, the grayed-out network adapter disappeared from hidden devices, and has never came back. As I started exploring online, I saw one suggestion to remove the device and then re-install the factory driver. I looked at hidden devices in 'view' settings, and it showed up but was grayed-out. The wifi network adapter in device manager had disappeared.

But then realized when I went on the road that there were still no wifi networks showing up. When this first happened - wifi networks didn't show up in the list (huh?) - I thought there was something wrong with wifi in the office. It and then replacing the card, turning wireless off in BIOS (and back on again), even uninstalling the device in device manager.

The wifi portion might have finally failed, and it still does not recognize it. I went so far as to buy another wifi card (a used one because they are no longer manufactured) thinking

The funny thing is, bluetooth kept working (which is on the same card) and Win10 sees the device and drivers for BT.

then suddenly Windows 10 can't find my wifi card. I have a laptop that has worked fine for many years.
