Hello! I reformatted my computer days ago, and whenever it was done, I wanted to connect to the internet. So, I went to start > connect to, and then it said that my computer could not find any networks! My wi-fi was on, and my router was on and working fine on the other laptops, plus it would've showed my neighbors networks also.
So, I restarted my computer, checked the network thing again, and it still didn't show any networks!
Then I went to the network and sharing center and turned the 'Network Discovery' on because it was off, but whenever I turned it on, it keeps showing it as off!
Please, any help as to what might be going on?

Did you reinstall the drivers after you reinstalled the OS? Look at the device manager to be sure that they are all working.

Control panel, system, hardware, device manager.

Are there any red or yellow marks next to network adapters?

Make sure that the wireless zero configuration is started id services & set to automatic. Start, run, services.msc

Edit: The same for DHCP client.
