Fix a Missing WiFi Option in Windows 11
Fix a Missing WiFi Option in Windows 11
In today's modern world, Wi-Fi is an essential part of our daily lives, allowing us to
connect to the internet and access information quickly and easily. However,
sometimes, when using Windows 11, you may encounter an issue where the Wi-Fi
option is missing from the network settings.
This can be a frustrating issue to deal with, but luckily there are a few steps you can
take to fix it.
Step 1: Press the Windows key + X to open the Quick Link menu, then click on
Device Manager.
Step 2: In the Device Manager window, look for the Network Adapters category and
click on the arrow next to it to expand it.
Step 3: Look for your Wi-Fi adapter. If you see it, right-click on it and select Enable
device. If it's already enabled, try disabling it and then enabling it again.
Step 4: If you don't see your Wi-Fi adapter listed, right-click on the Network adapters
category and select Scan for hardware changes. This should detect your Wi-Fi adapter
and install any necessary drivers.
Step 5: If your Wi-Fi adapter is still not appearing, try updating the drivers by right-
clicking on the adapter and selecting Update driver.
Step 6: Once you've checked your Wi-Fi adapter and made any necessary changes,
restart your computer and see if the Wi-Fi option has reappeared in your network
settings. If the issue persists, there may be other factors causing the problem, and you
may need to try other troubleshooting steps.
Reset Network Settings
If your Wi-Fi adapter is enabled and functioning correctly, but the Wi-Fi option is still
missing in Windows 11, you may need to reset your network settings. Resetting your
network settings can clear any network configurations and reset the network adapters
to their default settings.
If that doesn't work, try resetting your network settings or checking for updates.
Hopefully, one of these steps will help you get your Wi-Fi option back in Windows
11.
