    Hello and welcome to NBR!

    There's a WiFi on/off button in the right corner on top of the keyboard (numpad). Try that.

    Did you by any chance switch wifi off in HP Connection Manager? With that application you can control power for wifi, wwan and bluetooth (depending on built-in hw). Maybe you set wifi to power-off when Connection Manager exits.
