After updating to Windows 11, I suddenly lost my network connection.

After updating to Windows 11 the day before yesterday, my network worked fine yesterday. However, today it suddenly lost all network connectivity, and the wireless network connection option in the taskbar/settings has disappeared (unable to search for or select Wi-Fi). Please provide an urgent solution to restore it.

    Check if the Network Adapter is Enabled
    Press Win + X and select Device Manager.
    Expand Network adapters.
    Find your wireless adapter (e.g., Intel, Realtek, Broadcom).
    Right-click it and select Enable device (if disabled).
    If it's already enabled, right-click and choose Disable device, then Enable device again to reset.
