HP ZBook 17 Wifi Button Orange - Will Not Enable

K

kissmekate28

I updated my ZBook from Windows 7 to Windows 10 as a requirement for some new work security issues and now my Wifi no longer works. I'm hard wired most of the time but the Wifi Button (not a function button but a stand alone button) stays orange. When pressed it toggles Airplane Mode but doesn't actually allow for the Wifi adapter to be enabled (it's function in Windows 7). When navigating to the Network Adapters, my wifi card is disabled. If I try and enable it, it will turn on for 1 second and this disable itself again. I purchased a USB wifi adapter as a test and it does the same thing, automatically disables. I have troubleshooted all of the answers I can find online (listed below) and have not had any luck but also have been unable to find my exact issue.



Tried and didn't work:

Unplug and remove battery, hold down power button for 30 seconds.

Uninstall wifi adapter and restart machine

Update drivers from Intel website vs windows updates

Update BIOS

Change BIOS settings for WLAN/LAN

Restart without LAN connected

Press WIFI button as computer boots



I also read several times about a power saving setting that I should change so computer can not put WIFI to sleep but I don't have any power options on my WIFI adapter in the Device Manager.



TIA!
