I have an HP Pavilion 590-p0057c. My ability to connect to the internet via WiFi suddenly disappeared.  One day my computer connected to the internet via Wifi just fine and the next day when I fired it up it indicated that the ehternet connection was missing and gave me no options to connect via Wifi.  Under Network Properties it shows: Name: WiFi, Description: Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Adapter, Physical address (MAC): 74:40:bb:81:bf:a5, Status:  Not Present, Maximum transmission unit: 0, Connectivity (IPv4/IPv6):  Disconnected.  I went to HP Support and downloaded the network driver, but that did nothing.  I still only have the ethernet connection as a option.  The Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe does not show up in Device Manager under Network Adaptors.  How do I get my computer to reconnect to the network via Wifi?
