Hi @fazilkashmiri,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

It seems like you're experiencing an issue with your laptop's WiFi being automatically turned off, and you're unable to turn it back on due to the absence of a physical WiFi button on your keyboard. Since I can't view the image you've mentioned, I'll provide you with general troubleshooting steps that can help resolve common WiFi connectivity issues on laptops. These steps are designed to be broadly applicable, so please adjust them according to the specific model and operating system of your laptop.

Use the Function Key:

• Some laptops allow you to enable or disable WiFi using a combination of the Fn key and one of the function keys (e.g., F2, F3, etc.). Look for a key with a WiFi symbol and try toggling the WiFi by pressing Fn + that key.

Enable WiFi via Settings (Windows 10/11):

• Go to Settings > Network & Internet > WiFi.
• Make sure the WiFi option is set to "On".

Check Airplane Mode:

• Ensure that Airplane mode is turned off, as it disables all wireless communications, including WiFi.
• Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Airplane mode and turn it off if it's on.

Network Troubleshooter:

• Windows offers a built-in troubleshooter that can automatically find and fix some common connection problems.
• Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Internet Connections, and run the troubleshooter.

Device Manager:

• Sometimes, the WiFi adapter might be disabled from the Device Manager.
• Right-click the Start button and select Device Manager.
• Expand the Network adapters section, find your WiFi adapter, right-click it, and choose Enable device if it's disabled.

Check Power Management Settings:

• In Device Manager, right-click your WiFi adapter and go to Properties > Power Management.
• Uncheck the option "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

Update WiFi Adapter Driver:

• Still in Device Manager, right-click your WiFi adapter and select Update driver.
• You can search automatically for updated driver software or visit the laptop manufacturer's website for the latest driver.

Restart Your Laptop:

• If you haven't already, restart your laptop. This can sometimes resolve temporary issues.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
