Why has my wi fi disappeared since I loaded Windows 10

There is no recognition of wi fi on my hp laptop. Totally disappeared and the Windows settings are no help. No Wi Fi sense either

Same here, on an Asus eeebook. Had internet, then all of a sudden nothing. When I search my computer for WiFi, nothing comes up. No Ethernet port on my laptop, so for the time being I can't get any internet.

Check the device manager. Any exclamation or x marks?

Hi There.

I have the similar issues, apart from the Wi-Fi seems to sometimes work and then just disappears!!
Really annoying....

I am running a Dell M3800 with a clean install of Windows 10.

The info below seems to have worked for my issue thus far.......
Steps that I have taken include:
: Disabling "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" from the device settings (Device Manager)
: Edited the Power Plan from control panel and set the 'Wireless adapter- power savings' to "Maximum Performance"
: Edited the Power Plan from control panel and set 'PCI Express Link- State Power Management' to "OFF".

This appears to have resolved the issue so far.
The WiFi was switching itself off after around 20 minutes to an hour, but 2 hours in and seems to be stable.
Will let u know if anything changes.
Good luck....

Rob

Head to your manufacturer's site and get the latest driver for it. If there is none, then i guess they didn't update it yet for win10. The above power plan thingy can come in handy too.
