    This happened again. This time I did NOTHING OTHER THAN shut down and then start, and it worked. So, at least in my case, I'm not sure anything else was ever required. But to be clear: MERELY pressing restart didn't lead to a solution; I shut down, waited probably less than a minute, and started up.

    Replying for the benefit of anyone like me who had the exact same thing happen to my son's ASUS Vivobook Pro with the same version of Windows. 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.

    My solution was to type 'recovery' in search box, click on 'recovery', then 'Open system restore' and go back in time.

    Cheers,
