I was reading the news on the internet when I realized that I lost the connection. Not only I was disconnected from the wifi network, but I can't see any network at all (Not connected – No connections are available). The networks are visible on other devices.
This is a Laptop from 3 months ago, Asus, no Ethernet port. It came with preinstalled windows 10. I don't know what to do since I'm more an ubuntu guy, so please let me know if you need more info.
The "Network & Internet settings" screen says "Not connected" "You are not connected to any network".
In the screen "Change adapter options" there is only one icon "Ethernet 2, Network cable unplugged".
Troubleshooting asks me to connect an Ethernet cable, which I can't, so is useless.
The "View your network properties" screen has the Wifi properties, with status "Not Present" and Connectivity "Disconnected".
In the "Device Manager" screen, there is an exclamation point inside a yellow triangle in the Network adapter "Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265". Clearly this is where the problem is, but I don't know how to solve it. Device status is "Windows is still setting up the class configuration for this device. (Code 56)"
Any help?

This is probably a driver problem, of course, harrymc has provided the solution for the driver.
However, I still recommend that you check the "WLAN AutoConfig" service in the system service. Find this service, open it or restart it.
