I could not connect to Wifi so I carried out a HP network check on my laptop. The check shows that my wireless capability is turned off and asks me to turn on the wireless features on my laptop. However, when I go to the Network and Internet section in Settings, I could not turn the wireless device button on for some reason

@Jensen22, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Let us try these steps to resolve this issue:
Make sure the wireless key or button is enabled on the Notebook and the computer is not in Airplane mode.
In Windows, right-click the network connection icon in the system tray, and then select Troubleshoot problems.
- Press Windows + X keys on the keyboard, select Device Manager.
- In the list of devices, you should see the Network adapter.
- Right-click on the wireless driver, and select "Uninstall".
- Restart the computer. This will force the driver to reinstall itself.
If the issue persists, let us run a test on the wireless card
- Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.
- Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second. When the menu appears, press the F2 key.
- Perform Component Test > Network. Share the result on your next post.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
