This issue seems common from what I read but usually one of the manipulations I've attempted solves the problem. Was gonna do a DISM repair next but with the adapter uninstalled altogether I'm a bit reluctant to dig my hole any further without guidance. I went into device manager and ticked 'show hidden items' which revealed my adapter, I tried uninstalling it to then scan for hardware but the scans just come back as if nothing was missing. I've rebooted twice, run 2 sfc scans in between (the window shuts straight away when it finishes therefore can't read any notification if any) but no dice. I then tethered using my phone but the plugged connection literally replaced the wifi adapter in my network options. I disabled the adapter but it would not re-enable (code 10). The computer was on all along and when I got to it in the morning the network was Limited, I turned airplane mode on/off, no networks were showing.

My network adapter has disappeared overnight.
