Re: Network adapters not appearing in Device manager after critical updates.
I think the wireless adapter will be a separate device from the motherboard rather than onboard. If so, try unplugging the device, rebooting the system without the board removed, switching off, plugging the board back in making sure it is properly seated and switching back on. See if the system detects the adapter.
