Mobility Site - View Single Post - OOPS! Can't find the Dell WLAN Utility Driver

I too have run into this problem where the driver and adapter diappeared, therefore the wifi adapter would not "enable". Been working on this for a day or so, searching the web and forums, but before I was about to do a hard reset I fixed it by doing the following:

1) Opened Resco File Explorer (the regular File Explorer will probably work too)

2) Open the Windows folder under My Device

3) Open the AppButtons folder

4) Click (or double click) the WirelessPower.ink item in the folder

That will somehow re-engage all the drivers and wireless adapters, both bluetooth and wifi on mine. After that, since my hard buttons are messed up right now, I use the Dell WLAN to "enable radio" through the menu.
