When your PC's Wi-Fi adapter stops working, it's often a driver or software issue rather than a hardware problem. The best method for fixing it is to follow a systematic troubleshooting process, starting with the simplest solutions.

Method: Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
Run the Windows Network Troubleshooter:

This is the quickest and easiest first step. Windows has a built-in tool that can automatically diagnose and fix common network problems.

On Windows 11, go to Settings Network & Internet Advanced network settings Network troubleshooter.

On Windows 10, go to Settings Network & Internet Status, and click Network troubleshooter.

Disable and Re-enable the Adapter:
A simple reset can often resolve the problem. This is similar to turning a device off and on again.

Press the Windows Key + R, type ncpa.cpl, and press Enter to open the Network Connections window.

Right-click your Wi-Fi adapter (it may be labeled "Wi-Fi" or "Wireless Network Connection") and select Disable.
After a few seconds, right-click it again and select Enable.

Update or Reinstall the Driver:
Outdated or corrupted drivers are a common cause of Wi-Fi issues.
Press the Windows Key + X and select Device Manager.

Expand the Network adapters section, right-click on your Wi-Fi adapter, and select Update driver.

Choose "Search automatically for drivers". If Windows doesn't find a new driver, go to your PC manufacturer's or the adapter's manufacturer's website and download the latest driver manually.

If updating doesn't work, right-click the adapter, select Uninstall device, and then restart your PC. Windows will automatically reinstall the driver when it restarts.
