Not on any dropdown, can't enable (or even find) - if you go to network/internet settings, it's not even an option. Only airplane mode enables.

Massive Microsoft Office App update (213 mb) overnight.

anyone else have this problem?

Does it appear in the Device Manager?

Is it enabled in the Bios?

That or a physical switch. Not sure if Dell's have those.

This most likely. Reboot and go into bios and make sure it's enabled.

I once had a older Dell that had a physical switch on the side of the computer to turn the wifi on and off.
