The other night when I shut down my laptop, Windows 10 ran an automatic update before turning off the computer.

Ever since then, I can't connect to wifi in my house. The laptop will not let me turn on the wireless adapter. I click the on/off toggle switch for the adapter and it just stays "off". I used to be able to turn it on and off with one button (Toshiba laptop) but since downloading Windows 10, that feature doesn't work anymore.

Any tech gurus have a solution to this? Internet works fine if I direct wire it, but wireless will not turn on to use Internet....only if its hard wired.

Remove it from device manager and reboot.

Check device manager and see if your wireless card got disabled.
