Why won't my wifi turn on?

AdelinB · November 2017

So i bought this laptop 1 week ago and it came with endless os. It didn't have any problems and the wifi was working. I don't like linux that much and i decided to install windows 10. After the installation i saw that i couldn't turn the wifi on. Thought that it was some driver related problem so i used the ethernet cable and downloaded the wifi driver but it still didn't work. checked out for updates for the wifi driver , found an update, installed it but the problem is still there. I can't use the fn+f3 thing to turn it on.
Model: A515-51G-55NF
The wifi driver i'm using: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168
WLAN Standard: IEEE 802.11ac

Hi,
Go to Settings( click windows logo in taskbar and click the wheel), click Devices, click Network & Internet, click Wifi in the left pane and check whether it's switched On.

Hi,
Go to Device manager, expand Network adapters, highlight the WiFi and right click, go to Driver tab and uninstall it, reboot and let Windows install the driver.
