I reviewed your post and I understand that you are facing issues with the wireless connection on your computer.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
You see this message when your Wi-Fi adapter can not be accessed. It is possible that your Wi-Fi is simply turned off in the action center.
If it says "denied by user", it usually has something to do with your privacy settings. Go to "Settings -> Privacy -> Radios" and check whether there are both switches on (the global one and the one beside "WiFi Analyzer").
If it says "denied by system", the reason could be that you don't have suitable permission to manipulate this setting (maybe you are on a non administrative user account).
Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!

Disable the Power Off option for the adapter:

2. Expand the Network adapters.
3. Right click on the Ethernet/Wireless Adapter and click Properties.
4. Click the Power Management tab.
5. Remove the check mark beside Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
6. Click OK.
7. Test.
Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.
3. In the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without quotes, and press enter.
4. Restart your PC and test.
It may also help to reset the winsock catalogue:
1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.
3. In the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without quotes, and press enter.
4. Restart your PC and test.
Reinstall the network adapter drivers:
1. Download the drivers from here but do not run them yet.
2. Go to your start screen/menu and type Device Manager.
3. Expand Network adapters.
4. Right click on the wireless adapter and choose Uninstall.
5. Run the downloaded drivers from step 1.
