No 'Wi-Fi' button in 'PC settings' (Windows 8)

[Guest LesyaZB]

The screenshot which is attached below shows the current 'PC settings' screen ("Параметры ПК" - in Russian).

 

 

1) I attempted to update drivers for my wireless network adapter through its 'Properties' using the system service. As a result, the update of drivers was completed successfully. And from the status of my adapter I infer that 'it is working properly'.

 

2) The Wireless Network Interface in BIOS is unlocked.

 

3) With the buttons' combination Fn and radio antenna emblem I am turning on and turning off 'Airplane' mode - the same I can perform in 'PC settings'.

 

4) The 'Troubleshooting' is not running due to the error (its code: 0x80070057).

 

5) There is nothing in 'Network Connections' that you can enable. There is an element 'Wireless network' with the status 'No connection' and with the red mark 'x'.

 

6) There was no reinstallation of Windows.

 

7) There are no restore points to an earlier date.

 

8) The status of the system service 'WLAN Auto Config' is 'started'.
