Why is my wifi adapter stuck on identifying

A couple days ago I shutdown my PC, when I turned it back on, it would connect to the internet but it won’t provide internet access displaying “no internet, secured” on the wifi tab in the bottom right. In control panel, network connections won’t stop saying “identifying”. I have tried a network reset and it did not work. I tried to run the troubleshooter and it will not work because after the network reset windows started saying that I had not activated it, and I can activate it without wifi… I clicked the get help tab in settings and half the time it says I’m connected and didn’t find any issues the other half it says can’t connect to the internet with manually assigned ip address, but I have everything set to automatic. All other devices connected to the wifi work and my isp says that there are no issues from their end.

    It's in normal mode, try repairing Windows with these steps;

    Connect the USB disk to the computer, change the boot to USB in the BIOS.

    On the Windows Setup screen, select your language, time, and keyboard preferences, then click Next.

    At the bottom, click Repair your computer (do not click Install now).

    Select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Repair.

    If the problem persists, select Advanced options > System Restore.

    Did you run the file with Windows in safe or normal mode?
