Hi@RP101, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thank you for visiting the HP community! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community! I came across your post and wanted to assist you. I see from the post that you are having issues with the wifi switch is disabled. Don't worry as I have a few suggestions which should help you resolve this issue.

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:

Have you recently made any changes on the PC before the issue started?

Is the Wi-Fi button ON?

Is the Aeroplane mode OFF/ON?

In the meantime, let's try these steps here:

Perform a Hard reset on the notebook: A power reset (or hard restart) clears all information from the computer's memory without erasing any personal data. Performing a power reset might fix conditions such as Windows not responding, a blank display, software freezing, keyboard stops responding, or other external devices locking up

For more assistance, please follow the steps from this guide: HP PCs - Troubleshooting Wireless Network and Internet 

Let me know how it goes for further assistance.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
