Wifi seems to have fully disappeared from my laptop. There is only the option for an ethernet connection, and I can't even see wifi in my settings anywhere. I have tried the following suggestions from other posts with similar issues but nothing has worked yet -
Restarting
Disabling and re-enabling airplane mode
Uninstalling the realtek driver and reinstalling
Downloading a new driver from the HP website
Updating the driver
Reinstalling Windows 10
What else can I try? I need this fixed as I need it for work as soon as possible.
Thanks!
Edit - I have since seen that my wifi driver is missing. I have tried all the suggested troubleshooting, scanning for hardware changes, scanning for updates etc but these things still don't work. The laptop cannot detect that there is a problem. I tried downloading a driver from the HP website but this is not working either.

Can it see OTHER networks around your house ? Or it is totally blind ?
Regards.
