HP Pavilion x2 - 10-n155sa (ENERGY STAR)

I’m having issues connecting to the internet. I have restarted my laptop to its factory setting and it still doesn’t seem to work. The troubleshooting is not coming up with anything anymore however previously it kept showing “The Wi-Fi adapter is disabled” and “The Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 adapter is experiencing driver- or hardware-related problems”. I have attached a picture of what is supposed to be the wifi symbol
