Hi @Shubham7383,

I read the reply. Good job on troubleshooting the issue and you've displayed great patience. Kudos to you for that. 🙂 Please note that there are no wifi drivers for Windows 0 on the HP support site.

Please try these steps

Please uninstall the wifi drivers in device manager and restart the computer and check if the issue gets resolved.

• Right-Click on start button> click device manager> expand network adapters>then select the display drivers that are listed and right-click on it and uninstall the drivers.
• Then restart the computer and check again if you are able to connect.
• If not, please update the wireless adapter from the manufacturer's site.
• As a workaround, you could use a Wireless USB adapter by ordering it from Amazon or eBay or from a local store and connect it to one of the USB ports of the computer and connect it to your router. This is very economical and will do the trick for you.

Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes. To simply say thanks, please click the "Thumbs Up" button to give me a Kudos to appreciate my efforts to help. If this helps, please mark this as “Accepted Solution” as it will help several others with the same issue to get it resolved without hassles.

Take care and have a blessed week ahead. 🙂

Cheers!
