Hey guys, sometimes my laptop can't detect WiFi even though I've just been using it around 2 hours ago! Right now, I am using an Ethernet cable to connect to the internet and type this, however if I take it out then my connection to it is gone; my flight mode is turned off and WiFi is always set to connect immediately upon starting the system. This problems only works when I start the laptop, because if it does connect to it when I first start then nothing bad happens, nonetheless sometimes it doesn't connect to it and usually I just restart my laptop and the problem is solved. Additionally, today, now it is saying that it cannot detect any wireless devices on my laptop - WTF!? I have tried to restart it and it does not work and I went through troubleshoot which hardly bought any success. So guys, could you please help me out? This is getting very frustrating.

My laptop is hp, by the way, and I don't know what type. Also, I am using Windows 10 ^_^
 
Solution
If you have a hardware WiFi switch, make sure it's clicked to on. Also go online and check for updated drivers for your laptop on HP support page. You'd want BIOS, chipset and the wireless drivers.
