Why has my wifi suddenly been disabled ? I have Windows 10 upgrade

[john akehurst]

I upgraded my Win 7 Professional over 1 month ago to Win 10.

A few minor problems but suddenly yesterday the wifi went off and will not locate the router or turn back on in settings.

I have read that it is because of a conflict with VPN. I removed the VPN and reset Win 10 (losing several valuable programs in the process !!) and have also cleaned the registry but there has been no change !!!

You need to track down where the issue is... what networking devices show in Device Manager?

Is there a hardware switch to power off the Wifi in this laptop?
