I was looking for a fix to my lag spikes in CS:GO and read an article that showed me how to do a packet lose test. It also, suggested a command line to turn off wifi network searching and now I have been disconnected from my network and can't find the article or a fix anywhere. When I tried to connect to the network via CMD itself it replied this:

C:\Users\Jay>netsh wlan show networks

Interface name : Wi-Fi
Visible networks cannot be displayed because auto
configuration has been disabled on the interface.
 
Solution
Figured it out after 2 hours of looking. Here's the command line:

netsh wlan set autoconfig enabled=yes interface="Wi-Fi" (I had it set to "no".)
Try going to Control Panel->Network and Shared Resources->Change adapter settings, there you should be able to see your WLAN interface possibly greyed out due to have been disabled, right click on it, you should have the "enable" option to choose.
 


Its already turned on. Only gives me the option to Disable.
 


I see, maybe it's actually disabled but not updated in the GUI, give it a try and disable it then re-enable it.
 


Tried it, still no luck.
