As I understand you are having issues with the Wi-Fi icon missing on the taskbar of your HP notebook. Don't worry we'll work together to find a solution for you.
- Right click the Windows button (Start Menu), and select Properties.
- In the Properties dialog box, click the Notification Area tab.
- In the Systems Icons area, ensure that the Network checkbox is selected.
- Click Apply, then Ok.
I would recommend using an Ethernet cable (Wired) and update your Wi-Fi drivers using this Link.
* Update the bios by visiting this link or through support assistant using an Ethernet cable.
* Now try to connect to the internet wireless.
