@Sky_012, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your Wi-Fi Connection with mobile!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
I understand that your HP 550 laptop shows that Wi-Fi is disabled and isn’t searching for any available networks — that can definitely be frustrating. Let’s work through this together and see if we can get your laptop connected.
Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this:
Turn Wi-Fi On:
- Press the Function (Fn) key and the Wi-Fi (F12) key simultaneously. On some models, this key combination toggles the Wi-Fi on and off. If the Wi-Fi light turns white or blue, it means it's enabled.
Check Airplane Mode:
- Open the Action Center (Windows key + A) and make sure Airplane Mode is turned off.
Update or Reinstall Wi-Fi Drivers:
- Open Device Manager (press Windows key + X, then select Device Manager).
- Expand Network Adapters and right-click on your Wi-Fi adapter.
- Select Update driver and follow the prompts. If that doesn't help, you can try uninstalling the driver and restarting your laptop — Windows should reinstall the correct driver automatically.
Enable Wi-Fi from Network Settings:
- Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi and make sure Wi-Fi is turned on.
- If you see a "disabled" status, click on it and enable it.
Run the Network Troubleshooter:
- Open Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional Troubleshooters and select Internet Connections to let Windows diagnose and fix any issues.
Give these steps a try and let me know how it goes! If it’s still not working, we can explore more options together. 😊
Take care, and have an amazing day!
