Windows 10: What can I do to restore my PCs ability to connect wirelessly?

I was freeing up space on my pc a few days ago and I may have mistakenly deleted something because now my PC does not show any available Wifi networks. Other PCs and mobiles in the house can still connect to my Wifi. My PC can still connect to the internet when an ethernet cable is plugged in but I do need it to access the internet via Wifi.

Cannot Connect Wirelessly to the Internet

My E Machines E732 laptop which was recently upgraded to Windows 10 (from Windows 7) and has now had the Anniversary update applied. has suddenly ceased to be connectable wirelessly to the internet. I am using a BT Hub 5 and there is no fault with it as it connects wirelessly to several other computers in the house. I can connect the E Machines using an ethernet cable, and this works well, but any attempt to reconnect wirelessly fails. Could this be a result of the latest Windows update or is there some other fault such as a Registry flaw. I have tried renewing the network settings but no joy. Has anyone got any suggestions?*Sad
