HP 8460w wireless

[hankhill17]

Suddenly, my laptop isn't recognizing wireless networks. Always shows none available. When this started happening, deleting the adapter and letting windows find it again did the trick. That doesn't work anymore. Tried installing the intel drivers for the system, no good. Reset the BIOS settings to factory default just in case.

System doesn't show that something is wrong with the wireless, just that it doesn't exist. As far as I can tell, there's nothing in my RSOP that is causing this. Thoughts?

The card may have died. Does it still show up in Device Manager after you installed the driver?

The only other thing I can think that would cause networks to not display is malware.

System sees the wireless card and reports there are no problems with it. SEP is running on the system. I haven't run malwarebytes or anything like that recently.

You can try Complete Internet Repair before resorting to a full virus scan. If it's still a no go, then just be sure to do your virus scan with an updated definitions database, in Safe Mode, with your non-Microsoft services disabled and all startup entries disabled.

Looked at the complete internet repair, don't see how it can help with this problem. None of the options seemed relevant.
