Hi:

 

What model wifi adapter does your notebook have?

 

If you don't know, go to the device manager, click to expand the Network Adapters device manager category, and there you will find the name and model number of the wireless network adapter.

Yes its a Realtek PC1e GBE Family Control / Realtek RTL 8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Adaptor

 

I also notice when this adapter is missing so is my bluetooth capability

Hi:

That model wifi adapter is plagued with issues like you reported, and Realtek is constantly releasing driver updates to try and correct the problems with their 8822 and 8821 AC wifi adapters.

The only suggestion I can offer, would be to update the wifi driver to the latest version they have released to HP (which is newer than the one on your notebook's support page), and restart the PC.
