Paul & croy are right. I wish I had a backup. I've been offline for a day.
For a decade or so, I haven't "bothered" to make backups. Now I wish I had.

I destroyed Windows so badly that Wi-Fi will never work again, unless I do
something drastic where I already ran DISM & sfc scannow to no avail.

I'll bet I put Windows into such a state that NOBODY on this ng has ever
seen, in that the entire Wi-Fi infrastructure is crashing when utilized.

I ended up plugging an old DD-WRT bridge-mode router into the RJ45 port, 
just to get the pc back on the net because even Windows settings crashes.

Can you believe that? 

I press "Win+I" and then go to "Network & Internet" and in a second, it
crashes, every single time. I have no Wi-Fi icon in the notification area.

In all my decades on Windows, I've never seen *that* error before.
Have you?
