My HP laptop running Windows 10 Home suddenly stopped being able to connect to wifi. By that I don’t mean that it won’t connect to my network, I mean the wifi option is completely gone, as if this computer can only connect via Ethernet.
If I go into Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections, there is only an Ethernet option, no wifi option at all.
If I go into the Device Manager > Network Adapters, “Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11 bgn Wi-Fi Adapter” has an exclamation mark next to it. If I click into it, the device status reads:
“This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12) If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.”
I have no idea what other devices to turn off to free up the WiFi adapter or how to get it going again. Has anyone run into this before?
Realtek LAN driver on windows 10
[DRIVERS] Realtek Ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth - Republic of Gamers Forum - 871130
Wireless WIFI Driver MISSING - Windows 10
Windows 10 with 1809 update the Realtek RTL8192CU keeps disconnecting
Okay I finally got this to work, I was Googling around and found this driver
https://www.dropbox.com/s/097asrtpk6rt5dm/RTL8192CU.rar?dl=0
Yes it's kinda random but I run it through Kaspersky Anti-Virus to make sure
Anyway I installed it and checked device manager, it didn't work at first as it was still using the faulty Microsoft driver
So what I did was to right click on the Realtek RTL8192CU Wireless adaptor and selected Update driver > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
Finally it gave me the option of 2 drivers, one from Microsoft which doesn't work and one from Realtek which does work yay!
Oh and another thing the above link also installed a software called Realtek USB Wireless LAN Utility which has some useful features

Hello everyone,
I know it's a common issue on both Windows 10 & Windows 11, but so far I have checked many threads for a solution without avail.
My laptop is an HP Envy 13-D110NF, I am running on an Intel Core I5 and my Wi-Fi driver is Realtek RTL8xxx Wireless LAN or Realtek RTL8723BE/RTL8188EE 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN (not really sure on this one).
Here are the screenshots on Imgur : https://imgur.com/a/0eWkeQ4
My WiFi driver is completely gone (1), the Troubleshooter is telling that I have no driver for my Network Adapter (3).
I tried to reinstall the official pilot on HP Support and restarted my PC, but it did not work. The network adapter just doesn't show up on the device manager (5).
I also used the "Startup Repairs" from my BIOS menu to reinstall my wifi network adapter, but it had no effect.
I reset my laptop from scratch hoping it will solve the issue, but it didn't work either.
I also did an "in-place upgrade". Hoping this will download Windows 10 installer files and use those to update and repair your system and install a WIFI driver.
I have been losing my mind over this for two days now. At least the ethernet is working just fine. I think I am gonna need a new laptop at this point. I just don't understand why the driver vanished overnight.
So any help is most deeply apreciated.
Have a good day !
