Do you have a physical switch on your PC to turn on/off wifi?

1) Right Click network icon in taskbar and select "open network and sharing center"
2) highlight wifi connection then at top click "diagnose this connection"

I have kind of a button , but it doesnt work. In Windows7 it opened one of lenovo's programs
And when diagnosing it it tells me about the wi-fi button but the wi-fi button doesnt work.

I had to reply to this - been trying to track down disabled wifi, Bluetooth, mobile data on my laptop since last night's Windows Update. Convinced MS had bricked something. Then I saw your post. Uhhh.... yes, I do have a physical wireless switch.

Thanks - you've saved me from further idiocy!
