Wireless Adapter disappeared after update on HP Omen Obelisk Desktop

[Jingalls33]

Today my computer wanted me to do a Windows Update, which I did. When I restarted, HP had a BIOS update as well, which I also did. When my computer restarted, my wifi connection was gone, and the adapter does not appear in Device Manager. I connected with LAN for now, but really need the wifi connection to work. All of my internet searches have turned up nothing, did a system restore, still nothing. Help please!

@Jingalls33 Greetings from the HP Community!

I suggest you install the latest driver from the HP website, click here to download and install the same

Also, Have you run a wireless card test on your computer?

• Download and install the HP Hardware diagnostics tool from this link. 
• Once installed, shut down your computer.
• Wait for a minute. 
• Turn the computer On and keep tapping F2 repeatedly on startup to enter system diagnostics. 
• Select the component test and run a wireless test on your computer. 
• Refer to this HP Article for assistance. 

If the test fails or does not detect the wireless card, it could be faulty.

Keep us posted,

Thanks for your response. So after trying everything I could think of, the next day when I started it up everything was back to normal. I am going to keep your response, however, in case it happens again.

Thank you!
