Windows 10: My wifi option suddenly disappeared on my laptop.

The wifi suddenly got disconnected while I'm using my laptop. When I opened my shortcut tab at the bottom right of my screen, the wifi option completely disappeared. I tried to troubleshoot my internet connections and it kept telling me to plug an ethernet cable to this computer. But this laptop has no port for Lan and I've been using wifi all these while. Ive restarted my laptop several times but there was no difference. I have also done a network reset but it still doesn't show the wifi option. Please help.

2 laptops suddenly cannot log onto wifi.

Have 2 Win-10 laptops that were doing fine - Nighthawk R700P set up many months ago. Suddenly both cannot log onto wifi. Going to list of available networks, choosing "home" and disconnecting and then reconnect does not help. Suggestions? Not the greatest computer wizards here.

Lenovo laptop wanted latest Windows update; upon rebooting everything seems fine. Other machine is actually an HP all-o\in-one, not actual laptop - but Win10 anyway. Will check if update is needed.

Now HP is OK as well. Problem began there yesterday and on Lenovo today but now both seem OK. Curiouser & curiouser as Alice said; sorry to have taken up your time.

Laptop currently connected to wifi, then suddenly disconnected and there’s NO wifi option under Network & Internet

Hi I’m running into some concerns, my laptop is currently connected into the wifi, however, sometimes it would suddenly disconnect, and the WIFI option was not there anymore.

To restore the WIFI option, I always need to restart the device and it would appear again. Is there other options to restore the WIFI option without restarting? Or any other option to avoid this? Or why was this happening?

Thank you so much! Hope somebody could shed some info on this.
