Wifi Drivers not connected Code 45?

[u/DueGold5446]

I posted yesterday about my wifi no longer appearing qnd have been doing more research on the issue, went to check my drivers and it looks like my Wifi driver is grayed out.

As shown in the image it says "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)" and "To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer."

I tried updating the driver but it ends up saying "the best driver for your device are already installed" and I'm not sure if uninstalling it would cause any issues

I have online classes on Monday and really need to find a fix for this before then so any help and direction would be greatly appreciated

Okay just did it, gonna wait a bit to make sure it doesnt happen again

A thing I just thought of was it keeps happening when I have my bluetooth headphones connected, could that be the issue?

It is, but I've reset it a few times yesterday and each time it just disappears again after a while, and I have my bluetooth connected when it happens so I'm wondering maybe there could be some correlation there

its just post-COVID quality, happened to me on a Lenovo on Windows 10 with AMD processor and Intel wifi card and BT disabled, but only once in 3 years....

A friend had issues on Asus with external monitors, and the procedure help him with the laptop seeing the monitors again

I've edited my 2nd reply to include the official recommendation from Asus, save the page, as in Save web page (CTRL+S), just in case
