Product: HP Pavillion 550 035z
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My computer was working fine and connected to internet via wifi. Today I tried to wake it from sleep mode and could not get my PC log in screen to appear (background picture showed). After waiting 30 minutes, I did a hard shut down and when I turned it on again I could not connect to internet or find wifi networks. It told me I needed to insert an ethernet cable. I checked in network adapter settings, and there is no wifi adapter and no options to turn on wifi or anything else wifi related appear. What's going on, and how do I fix this? My computer is pretty far from the router, so I don't want to have to physically move it and connect to internet via ethernet unless I have to. Thanks!

 

My specs: HP Pavillion 550 035z CTO Desktop, AMD A6-7400k processor, Windows 10 version 1709.
