So I've been trying to fix this issue with my computer not bringing up the wifi button at all. The only thing close to the wireless wifi adapter my computer will recognize is ethernet, but I don't want ethernet(I also don't have the cables for it) I want to use my wireless adapter(hardware) that I can see is plugged in and everything is fine with it. No troubleshooting is helping and it looks like the only issues would either be that the adapter is dead and I can't tell(which it shouldn't be) or my PC simply refuses to recognize the wifi adapter's existence. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
