- How To Fix Wireless Adapter Missing in Windows 11 [SOLVED]
Your wireless network adapter is missing on your Windows 11 PC? Don’t worry! Although it is frustrating, you’re not the only one to experience this issue. Many Windows 11 users have recently reported the very same issue.
If you are not seeing your network adapter on your computer, one of the reasons for this may be because you have an older network card driver installed on your computer. But, you don’t have to worry, fixes are available to solve this problem. If the problem is happening on your computer for the first time, try rebooting your computer and check if you can discover the network adapter on your computer.
Many Windows 11 PCs access the Internet using the wireless adapter. Still, wireless adapters can cause problems, especially if you don’t configure them properly.
This issue mainly shows up on certain laptop models. That’s not surprising at all, as laptops mainly use wireless networks after all.

when all else fails...this worked for me.... unplug the power to the laptop...power off the laptop....restart the laptop and hold the power button for 30 seconds and release..once all start-up icons appear, shut down for 1 minute....restart, wi-fi appeared and worked better than before. I tried about 7-10 different solutions from outstanding videos like this one. My problem happened after an update but all is working now.
Thank you bro this one worked for me too. After trying couple of videos.
YOU ARE ACTUALLY A FREAKING LIFE SAVER OMG IT WORKKKKKEEDDDS😭😭

I can't even begin to express how much I love you man. Saved my ass between classes.
Aaaargh! no "network adapter" listed under "other troubleshooters!
It fixes it temporarily though, couple of minutes after it's working it disconnects again and the wifi disappears
Yeah windows 11 is suck
I bought a wifi adapter you guys and it kinda works better than nothing. To anyone having the same problem
@@h.l6828 i had one laying around aswell but damn windows 11 is so shit is basically deleted the wi fi driver out of my computer...
@@theredviper7401 did you found any solution? my laptop has the same problme
@@lovedeathrobots2710 I am going back to windows 10. Hoping for the best. Windows 11 completely blasted my network adapter.
I'd read about 4 different lengthy articles before finding this tutorial. I was all set to demonize Windows 11 updates with a plan to scrap my trusty 5-yr old laptop with their "recent updates". The second step (flush DNS) fixed it. I have no idea nor do I care about what that means but I feel so capable right now! XD Thank you!!!
You basically flush any ip adresses from your cache.
OMG this is the only tutorial that worked and brought back my Wifi icone!!!!!
Previously I have tried all the driver uninstall and reset thing but did not work. I think the difference this tutorial made was the IPCONFIG from CMD
Thank you so much man!!
This spent my whole night!!!
I have watched every other tutorials and finally came to yours!!!!
Glad it helped
Thank you. Tried multiple videos and this one worked. Great knowledge and very well explained
Glad it helped
Also i am here simply because my network adapter icon has disappeared from the network connections,thus unabled to connect to my wifi whatsoever. And not having the wifi icon on the taskbar to right click and forget and re add the password, makes it impossible to do. 🤷🏽♂ So i am very much desperate for a fix please as leaving the reset of my laptop to the last option.
Thanks a lot!
My PC runs Intel AC 9560 and the wireless driver was broken after wifi turned off manually about 15'.
Tried to update and re-install latest driver but not working!
And your simple method fixed my problem!
Same
Out of a dozen of videos I watched and tried on RUclips, only this worked! Kudos bruh
You're welcome!
I always used a Ethernet, got a new wifi and now nothing pops up in my networks besides my hotspot. Will this video be of use??
I am not computer savy at all. But I used my phone which was hooked up to the home wifi and I then went throught the stop by step method on my laptop and even typed in the "black section box" exactly what you said. "config..etc"and after I did the restart it automatically hooked up to my wifi. Thank you so much. the step by step method and it was not too fast that I could pause the video. Thank you ever so much for your help. I have subscribed to your channel :)
This logical step-by-step process worked for me. Thank you.
None of this worked I only have a ethernwt cable option all of a sudden been connected to wifi for months
In command prompt when netsh command is given
The requested operation requires elevation (run as administrator)
thanks for this!! A clear and easy tutorial, giving many ways to fix the issue! saved my windows 11 from a visit to the technicians lol
Glad it helped!
pls can you help me mine dont work( the wifi icon dont appeard i see just the ethernet)
I want to say a massive thank you for this tutorial. I have a paper to complete and need access to the internet and panic was setting in but your video helped me to get the wifi back. Thanks and God bless
Hey, erm... Wondering if you have any more tips as I followed your advice yet mine still not working... Help?
Thank you so much. All the Microsoft support forums were useless, which is extra infuriating because it's a Windows update that causes this problem for most people. Resetting the winsock is what did it for me! 😎 I was just about to buy a 100' Ethernet cable up run through my house.
I don't even have a Network Adapter option in that settings menu.... pls help.
Solved: turned off pc and unplugged from power, pressed power switch a bunch of times to deplete power in pc, leave for 30 mins, switch on. 👍
Typing in the cmd really did the job! I can’t thank you enough!
Hello, followed every step, but my icon is still not back. Any thing more I can do?
this very help to me, but the next day I start my laptop still have the same issue what is the actually problem on it？
None of this worked for me. Could u please help?
can we roll back to windows 10 (its been a year since i upgraded to 11) or do we have to do clean install that i don't know how to do? Or do you think its the adapterwhen i looked at device manager wireless adapter says settings not migrated, device configured device not started
I bought a new laptop last weekend loaded with W11, previous laptop was W10. I use a Microsoft Display Adapter plugged into the tv to cast wirelessly from my laptop, never had a problem on W10. However, when I tried connecting the new computer to the display adapter to cast to my tv, it recognized the Display Adapter, but when I clicked on it to cast, it would simply cancel after 20 seconds or so and display "couldn't connect". Plus I noticed the Smartcast icon was missing from RUclips videos, so something was clearly amiss. I researched online for over an hour for a solution, nothing I tried would fix the problem. Finally came across this video and even though it was much more intensive using command prompts, etc., I figured what the hell, let's give it a shot. Followed the video exactly, and when I was done I tried casting again. After about fifteen seconds the laptop screen was displayed on the tv, I couldn't believe it. Plus the Smartcast icon is back on RUclips videos. I bookmarked this video in case I ever have this problem again...thanks for posting a video that actually fixes a problem!
I can't thank you enough man. The command prompt resolved my issue
my problem is that i can connect to my pc hotspot but no internet
Me too, man. I can connect to the wifi extender connecting with my router but can not with the router. Doubt if the problem comes from wifi adapter itself. Mine is a realtek adapter.
Do i have to take backup first? Will this erase my data?
Resetting the Winsock catalog made the trick. Thanks a lot man
Can i do that even if my pc does not have a cable connection option?
I have seen on another video that you should let your laptop do the resetting of network all by itself instead of restarting your laptop beforehand.
I did all of these like 5 times now and it works for 2 seconds and the wifi compleately disapears after that again. Like it is not existing anymore on my computer. I deleted all my drivers and reinstalled, reinstalled the whole computer, did all of these in the video. Is it possible that theres a problem outside of my laptop?
I’m having the same exact problem, did you ever figure out how to fix it?
Well I just took off my laptop’s bottom part, searched a tutorial to find my wifi card to see if I could change it for myself and I found it, but it was covered with sth that I was too scared to remove because I didnt wanna fuck up my laptop. So I just pushed it down not too hard to see if it was a connection problem or sth. Cleaned the inside and I noticed that the screws were too tight soo I screwed it looser when I put my laptop’s bottom part back maybe sth was pushing the wifi card or messing with the connection, but afterwards it worked. Maybe I just had luck or I have magical hands but Im happy. (Also I have zero clue about computers, its just what worked for me 😅)
@SHIVAM GUPTA using a Wi-Fi adapter or ethernet cord connect to the internet then from settings find the manufacturer website and look for the wireless internet driver and download it, then reset your computer. At least this work for me 3 times on different devices.
Through troubleshooting and using the other methods in this video i can get the wifi button to pop up, but it cant detect any networks even though my phone in the same range can detect many. Im not sure how to fix this :(
Just going to add to the already big list of comments bestowing praise and thanks. Many thanks MDTV. 🙂
i still cant connect to internet. i have a lenovo and apparently you cant open those up and when i look at the diagnostics for the adapter it says "not fixed or hardware related problems" does that mean im just SOL with it?
I tried all your steps. And my wi-fi adapter is still gone... Heeelp
Thank you so much bro don't know what to give but I hope you will become a great man in future ❤
Glad to help.
The Command Prompt entries, followed by the Network Reset worked!!!!!! I Thank You for helping.
Huhu i follow all steps still not fixed my wifi on my asus laptop i need help :(
You fix it? Also I cannot fix it in my Asus
Thanks man... My exam's will start from tomorrow... You really help me to go out from this problem...thank you again....lots of love.
Good luck!
You saved my life!!! Did not work using Troubleshooting steps, but works as a charm using "cmd" steps.. I use ACER btw.. Thank You!!!
Glad it helped!
I’ve watched all the videos and have followed all the steps and nothing is fixing my issue. I just spent $600 on this lap top less than two weeks ago. Thinking about just taking it back in the morning
It isn’t working for me tried it three times in row but the icon is still missing. By any chance do you know what to do next?
This boosted my download speed from about 10b to 2mb greatly appreciated. 👍
Glad to help
Tried all these options but unfortunately none worked for me. My Asus laptop is only 6 months old and today upgraded to Windows 11 and no longer displays any Wi_FI options.
i have the same priblem with my asus laptop, after i got woindows 11 its been acting up like this
I followed everything in this video without any success, my WiFi adapter is not recognized anymore in Windows 11, it was working perfectly since I updated to Windows 11 from a month ago.
I forgot which one, but, yesterday one of the step worked on my laptop, but today, same problem occured... the wifi disappeared again and I guess I need to try each step again. But this takes to much time if each time I turn on my laptop and need to do redo it
@@marisalim96 I ended up installing a fresh copy of windows on my system. and I discovered that Windows 11 is not compatible with my Ryzen CPU, So I installed everything from scratch + updated AMD Chipset drivers, and I should NEVER, NEVER put my power plan to "Power Save" because my windows will crash! however, my WiFi adapter is working again without any problem. actually, it was working when I installed the drivers from Intel (before I discovered the incompatibility with my Ryzen CPU, but after that, my system start crashing repetitively, for that reason I installed everything from scratch) because I have the Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz adapter.
@@ahmadelkerdi1657 ahhh I see, thank you for the reply! I think maybe mine is also not compatible, because this happened after I updated to Windows 11, I'll try Google it, maybe others with the same laptop experience this too
There is no network adapter troubleshoot. My wifi adapter is completely gone from my system. I even opened device manager and showed hidden things and it's not there anymore after I updated my Bluetooth 4.0 drivers
You’re a gangster man, I have 2 online quizzes today and u clutched it for me. I’m giving you credit for my grades lol. Thank you!!!
Glad I could help
Thanks. Asus F15. This worked for me. Wifi Adapter working after CMD commands and restart. What causes this and what prevents is happening again?
When I typed netch winsock reset it said the requested operation requires elevation (run as administrator) ?
What does that mean?
did you even read it
Wifi was killed by the latest Windows update. Tried all of these, none of them worked.
thanks i tried it, but didn't work I'm connected but cannot get online. so could it be bad adapter and i should uninstall it get different one from manufactuer. my pc is only thing that cannot find my wireless wifi. i get on sometimes then i loose it again thanks for help and sharing
does this work with alpha network adapters? thanks
IF ANYONE STILL HAS THIS PROBLEM: I spent 8 hours trying to work it out, all the videos show the same thing. But this worked for me. Turn your PC off, then switch off the switch to the PSU. Then unplug the PC and hold onto the power button for 30 seconds to drain all the power. then plug back in and it should work!
The second solution (winsock) worked for me!! I had tried everything before: uninstalling then re-installing the network driver, resetting it, downloading another driver on a different computer and trying to install it on the faulty computer, and nothing else worked. (At first, I didn't run as an administrator and it didn't work, but then when I followed the steps more carefully to run as an administrator, it worked!) Thank you!
Thank you so much man 🙏🏻 I was struggling for a long time but now it's finally solved
Glad it helped
First cmd prompt and restart fixed the adapter. Thank you so much!!
I get the requested operation requires elevation run as administrator after I try netsh winsome reset. Any ideas ?
Thanks buddy! I have my first internship meeting in 2 hours and I was freaking out!
Glad it helped

Hello there I hope you could check on this comment and help me out. I'm having a problem with my Laptop. I accidentally install a wireless driver for Windows 10 but I'm on Windows 11. I can't go back to Windows 10 due to some certain problems that the Go Back button isn't there. Problem here is that when I want to connect to my WiFi. There's no WiFi button there's only an Ethernet connection. If you checked on me I just want you to know that I'm grateful if you're checking on this comment and god bless you
