After a Windows update, my Dell laptop stopped detecting Wi-Fi. How can I restore the connection?

Loss of Wi-Fi after a Windows update is a common issue, often related to drivers.

What to do:
Check Device Manager
– Press Win + X → "Device Manager" → find the "Network adapters" section.
– If the Wi-Fi adapter shows a yellow exclamation mark or is missing — the driver is corrupted.

Reinstall the Wi-Fi driver
– Go to the official Dell website → enter your serial number or select your model.
– Download the latest Wi-Fi driver for your model and version of Windows.
– Install it manually and restart your laptop.

Temporarily disable antivirus or firewall if Wi-Fi appears and then immediately disappears.

Check if the Wi-Fi module is disabled via a key combination (e.g., Fn + F2).
