Did you just notice that your Windows 10 wireless capability is turned off? Here are some handy tips on how to reactivate it.

1. Turn on Wireless Connections

On laptop computers, there's usually a button that activates or deactivates wireless connectivity on the laptop. So, look out for the button on your keyboard and press it. Actually, the location of the button differs from laptop to laptop; simply look out for the button with a wireless symbol.

Another way to do this is via the Network & Internet Settings page. This method is mainly for Desktop users or laptop users who can’t find the wireless connectivity button.

Open Network and Sharing center

Click on Change Adapter settings

Right-click on your network adapter and choose “Enable.”

2. Adjust Power Settings

Windows OS comes with a built-in feature that lets you control how your PC should function when plugged into power and when plugged out. This feature is to help power utilization, but it sometimes affects the functionality of certain drivers. So, by adjusting the power settings of your PC, you could fix this problem being discussed here.

Press Windows Key + R and enter devmgmt.msc

On the Device Manager page, expand Network adapters and right-click on your wireless network adapter

Go to Properties and change the power settings.

3. Update Your Network Adapter/Driver

Open Device Manager and expand Network Adapters

Right-click on your wireless network adapter and select “Update driver.”

If this doesn’t still fix the issue, then you need to roll back OS updates on your computer.
