Partial functionality of the Intel 7265 wireless card.
The Wi-Fi on your card stopped working after you changed thermal paste. You've tried plugging it in again, reinstalling drivers, and checking the device manager, but the driver shows up as installed yet isn't listed. Since your card supports both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the Bluetooth is fine. To fix this, you should investigate the thermal paste installation process more carefully—ensure it was applied correctly and not damaged. Also, verify that the Wi-Fi settings are properly configured and that no conflicting drivers are interfering. Consider resetting your network settings or consulting the manufacturer's support for further guidance.
