Hello,
Welcome to Microsoft Community Forum.
As per the description, I understand that your computer lost Wi-Fi connectivity all of a sudden and network icon at the taskbar says “No connections available”. You tried a number of troubleshooting steps like rebooting, toggling
wireless power switch, uninstalling network adapter driver, checking WLAN service etc, but none of them helped you enough to get this problem resolved.
I would appreciate if you can provide us the following information to help us understand the issue better.
- Were you able to install the network adapter driver after uninstalling?
- Were you able to see 802.11 adapter in device manager earlier before uninstalling network adapter driver?
Looks like the network adapter driver failed to download and install automatically after uninstalling. If that is the case I would have you download and install the wireless adapter driver manually from adapter manufacturer website
and check.
If issue persists, let’s follow the Methods below to check if that works:
First, I would suggest you to run Windows in-built network adapter troubleshooter and check if it reports any error and fixes them.

If network troubleshooter does not help try other suggestions in the article like disabling and re-enabling network adapter, resetting the network adapter, uninstalling and reinstalling the network adapter driver again.
You may also refer the article below to check if the computer has all the network settings at its place.
