Hi @Barshan_1645 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

Thanks for explaining everything so clearly—it’s incredibly frustrating when Wi-Fi just vanishes, especially after trying a full reset and OS reinstall. Let’s walk through a few steps that can help bring your wireless connection back to life:

Update Drivers:

• The most common solution for driver-related issues is to update your drivers. You can use Windows Update or HP Support Assistant to ensure you have the latest drivers installed.
• Using Windows Update:
  • Connect to the internet.
  • Open the Start Menu, then click on Settings.
  • Navigate to Update & Security and then Windows Update.
  • Click on Check for updates and install any available updates.
• Using HP Support Assistant:
  • Open HP Support Assistant from the Start Menu (Start > All Apps > HP Help and Support > HP Support Assistant).
  • Go to the My Device screen and click Check for updates and messages.
  • Install any available updates and reboot your PC if necessary.

Device Manager:

• Sometimes the issue might be with the network adapter driver.
• Right-click on the Start Menu and select Device Manager.
• Expand the Network adapters section.
• Look for your WiFi adapter. Right-click on it and select Update driver.
• Choose Search automatically for updated driver software, and follow the instructions.

Enable Wireless Adapter (if disabled)

1. Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings.
2. If the Wi-Fi adapter is listed but greyed out, right-click and choose Enable.

Restart WLAN Services

1. Press Windows + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.
2. Scroll to WLAN AutoConfig, right-click, and select Restart.
3. Set Startup type to Automatic if it isn’t already.

I fixed it simply by repairing c drive

That’s a great catch—and honestly, not the first fix most people would think of! Repairing the C: drive can reset corrupted system files or registry entries that might be interfering with network adapter detection or driver initialization.

If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask. We're here to help! 

Thanks again for your confirmation, and we wish you an amazing day ahead! 😊
