Go to search and search device manager select settings (in the search between Files and Apps). there you will find "network adapter. " see if it is listed.

I heard some built - in adapters are not compatible with certain OS, but in your case the company has installed it and is no chance of such. Install a program named driver booster, and download the latest driver.

I have the same issue with my ASUS Q500A laptop. Last week, I had Bluetooth, this week after some new Windows 8.1 updates, the Bluetooth ICON is gone, when I type "Bluetooth" in the search box I get the typical "bluetooth settings" option, but when I click on it, it no longer takes me to the bluetooth on/off page, but just my desktop. It's like the latest Windows 8.1 update removed the capability to see the Qualcomm bluetooth driver. So I downloaded the driver from the support.asus.com website, installed it, and still can't find a bluetooth icon or settings in my device manager or in the control panel. The bluetooth services are running, but no way to enable or see any bluetooth settings including the icon. Windows 8.1 sucks! Any ideas?

I just fixed it. Here's what I did.

I uninstalled the cyberpower UPS software I installed last week. Then, I uninstalled the Qualcomm Bluetooth drivers I installed today (downloaded from the ASUS website). After a restart, I typed "bluetooth" in the search box and for the first time since last week, the "change bluetooth settings" link appeared. I also found the bluetooth icon to reappear in the device manager. Therefore, the UPS backup software kills the Bluetooth on Windows 8.1, remove it! Bluetooth is more important than some USB UPS power monitor SW.
