    I recently installed the tool in the subject, and since then, I have no WiFi internet connection. I’m pretty certain I was advised to use it on one of the forums here. “No internet access. No connections available”
    I’ve tried a network reset with no success.
    On my hardware/connection properties in safe mode it’s saying my intel wireless ac 9260 160 mhzvstatus not present, also my Bluetooth and LAN.
    Currently performing a system restore, but any suggestions gratefully received.
    In the worst case scenario the adaptor has simply reached end of life, but never seen that before. How can I prove that also?

    Lenovo Thinkpad, windows 11 pro 64 bit, intel m3-8100y 1.61 ghz, 8gb ram

    So, in device manager there is no network / Bluetooth device? There is no connection in the system tray?
    Sometimes that "No Internet" message is fibbing.. it just can't ping MS which is how it knows you're "online".
    Some laptops actually have a replaceable card in them so you can swap it out. Might look for that.
