Okay so I know it may seem like it's my hardware from the title, but first I want to make sure I'm not wasting money while there could be a free and easy solution or if it isn't my hardware.
So basically, Sunday I turned my PC on and I went onto Discord to play with a few friends. Quickly I realized my audio worked but my microphone didn't. I tested it and it registered no input. So I updated the drivers and restarted my PC. This time however, when reinstalled it, my computer couldn't detect any networks. It had the symbol of the 4 bars and a white star on my sign in menu.
Once I got past the sign in menu, my wifi icon was missing from the bottom right. I went into settings, and my wifi settings were missing. I tried all trouble shooting, changing adapter settings, but everything was normal. I tried checking windows for damaged files, none showed up. I disabled my computer's permission to disable my network card to save electricity, nothing worked. It is detected as a device, but windows doesn't want to give me the wifi options. It doesn't even seem like it's scanning for networks.
I took my side panel off, took out my wifi card and booted my PC. In the sign in menu, I had the little icon with a red sign on it. I placed the card back in and it returned to the previous issue.
I googled a lot and I just can't find a solution. I checked my driver events and it said "Device not migrated". So I downloaded my drivers onto the phone and transfered onto the PC with USB. After reinstalling drivers, it still said the device isn't migrated. I reinstalled it again, this time in compatibility, and no fix still.
When trying to use USB tethering from my phone, it detected it on my PC but it said "No internet". Probably on my phone's end. Does it use 4G or my wifi, on a side note? My phone has no 4G plan, but it was connected to my wifi.
Someone please help, or at least give me pointers that it is my hardware. Support is useless, no articles worked, and to add to it, when on Microsoft's page, all they did to other people was link the FAQ or other help topics which helped no one with my issue, and then proceeded to stop helping after two replies top. Someone please help.

yeah, windows may need updates to work with new driver. This happens more frequently than you think. I will blame manufacturer too, should make driver more robust as well.
