Today when I opened up my Asus ROG Gaming Laptop, I noticed my wifi icon was missing. I clicked the icon in its place, and this is what appeared:

No networks or wifi to connect to, just this. As you can see, airplane mode is grayed out. When I go to my settings, there are bluetooth settings but if I try to connect to any device it simply says "bluetooth is not enabled", however the button to switch bluetooth on and off is also missing. And when I try to go to my wifi settings, there are simply gone. I cannot access any wifi or connection to any network except through an Ethernet cable.


I don't know what to do. I have been looking online for tips for over 2 hours now and literally nothing has helped. Please do not tell me to go to my device manager and check for updates on my wireless adapter. First of all, it's not there. And second of all, if I check for updates under "Network Adapters", nothing happens. That clearly isn't the problem.


Please do not tell me to go to my notifications and actions tab in settings and click "turn system icons on or off". That option isn't there. I have the "Network" action on, but it doesn't show up in my task manager for some reason.


I have tried installing bluetooth and other wireless drives from this acer website: Service & Support | Acer Official Site and that didn't help.


Please don't tell me to restart windows explorer. Already tried that. I've also already tried restarting my PC, several times, usually after being told to press win+r and typing in "services.msc" or something like that. I feel like I have tried everything and I don't know what to do. Don't tell me to run troubleshooting problems when right clicking on the network icon. It keeps telling me no problem was found.

Yesterday I was trying to find settings to lower the contrast of my screen, and it took me all over the place. So I suppose it's possible I may have accidentally enabled an option that is causing all this commotion. Any ideas on what option might have cause my wifi, airplane mode, and bluetooth to stop working?


Any advice besides the ones I've listed above would be greatly appreciated.
