Can't connect to wifi after Windows Update

I just installed the latest Windows Update, but after installing it, my PC can no longer connect to wi-fi. The network troubleshooter only tells me to connect an ethernet cable and doesn't offer any solutions for how to fix the wireless connection at all. In fact, everything that had to do with wireless connections in Network and Internet Settings seems to be missing entirely. Connecting using an ethernet cable is now the only way to connect to the Internet on my PC. It's inexcusable for a Windows Update to do this to my PC.

    Then reboot and check if the features are back

    I downloaded them, but when I open the setup.exe for either one, it results in an error message:

    I downloaded them, but when I open the setup.exe for either one, it results in an error message:

    Never mind about the error message. I was getting the error message because I was trying to open the setup.exe file without extracting it from the zip file first. I extracted the files and was able to install the wireless driver. I have restarted, but wi-fi connectivity has not returned.

    Here is what my network adapters in the device manager looks like now:
