    ok weird one my Wi-Fi is gone... not disconnected, gone.

    Network & internet

    Network & internet
Wi-Fi  •  HomeNet_5G
No internet, secured

Connected, but nothing loads. Troubleshoot problems?

    after a BIOS update, the 2-in-1 no longer shows any wireless options. ive tried rebooting, teh network troubleshooter, and checking airplane mode 🔥 nothing. since I cant get online, every fix I find online needs internet. irnoic. any offline-friendly suggestions? I do have a phone that can share its connection over USB, if that helps. im also fine using a USB stick to move files from another computer. pls help 🙏

    use your phones USB tethering to get online temporarily. windows usually supports it without extra drivers :D then download teh Wi-Fi driver from teh PC makers support page for your exact model. lmk how it goes

    If the adapter shows up with an error, uninstall it (tick delete the driver software), reboot, and let Windows install its inbox driver. Then install the makers drvier over it. worked for me anyway 🤷
