    I have struggled with this exact issue since yesterday. I've looked up several different support forums and lists of workarounds that I repeated with no results. After going through all of those methods a few times and about 36 hours of frustration I found this video while at the same time I was inspecting the network card on the motherboard and seeing whether physically removing it and re-attatching would change anything (for the third time). Surprise surprise, it somehow worked! The Wi-Fi came right back after restarting as if nothing had ever happened. So I didn't end up actually needing any of the advice in this video, but since I came here and was grateful to see options I hadn't seen suggested before (like the power flush), I'll say thank you! Videos like yours are a wonderful resource for people having these kinds of issues. I hope more people find them before accumulating too much stress! :D

    The below steps did the job for me:
    1. Changing the status of WWAN Auto Config to Automatic and Running (My WLAN Auto Config was already set to Automatic and Running)
    2. Running cmd as an Administrator and executing the command "netsh winsock reset"
    3. Restarting the computer
    Thanks for the above video... was extremely helpful!!

I had to update the driver in device manager and it fixed my issue. My problem was a bit different as when I updated the driver it told me that I had the latest driver, but there was a yellow exclamation point next to the adapter icon. I had to roll back the driver in order to fix it. Once I rolled it back I was able to update to the latest driver and it was still working correctly. Thank you for leading me to the answer.
