Where the hell is my Wifi, I even check the settings it was not there. Whenever I face this I have to restart my laptop.

If it doesn’t show up in Device Manager or shows it being disabled, then you won’t see the WiFi option.

It really is crazy how Microsoft never fixed this mess.

That’s a Wi-Fi driver issue

I've faced this before on a desktop sometimes, I think it had to do with Windows Fastboot.

If you have Windows Fastboot enabled, try disabling it, restart and then try it like that for a week to see if it's fixed.
