If you have recently uninstalled any software ex: VMWARE, try to reinstall it and follow all the procedures. (Like if it pop up for restart, don't skip for later just restart it). This way we have solved this issue.
Yes, after that you can uninstall it again.
Thanks.

I hooked it up to the router with an ethernet cable and a USB-ethernet adapter I had in my box of oddities, and downloading/installing the pending Windows updates appears to have fixed it. Wi-Fi is back up and running when before there was nothing.
