    Windows Central Question
    I upgraded a desktop machine from windows 8 to windows 10.
    the wireless worked fine for several months then one day it just would not connect.
    I get a message that an Ethernet cable is disconnected.
    I have no sign on a wireless adapter anywhere that I look in the system.

    Your adapter needs win10 drivers, manufactures didn't release them on public win10 update I guess, usually drivers updates automatically by itself
    Try unplug it , then replug. If possible, connect your pc via wired ethernet and make a check updates via settings
    Last resource: Use another device to visiti manufacturer site, download drivers, and move them via usb key to pc
