WiFi stopped working on Ubuntu 18.04 on HP envy x360

Question

I had a few problems with my laptop earlier related to sudo not working, and then disk space issues. After solving that, the only problem remaining is WiFi not working, which was Ok before all that. I'm afraid I've done something to corrupt it inadvertently. Please help, I really need my computer working, and I had a ton of trouble with it recently. Thanks a lot in advance.

I know this information might not be enough to get concrete help, so please tell me what command you want me to run. I tried pressing F12, but it didn't help. When I open the WiFi window to connect to a network, the message I see is "No Wi-Fi Adapter Found Make sure you have a Wi-Fi adapter plugged and turned on"

I repeat, I did have WiFi until hours ago. It's frustrating because I don't have the right ethernet cable for my laptop, so it's offline and I can't do any real work because of that.

I try

lshw -C network
network DISABLED
description: Wireless interface

In addition

iwconfig
lo  no wireless extensions.

If I try

rfkill list

0: hci: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: yes
    Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked:np

Then

lspcu -knn | grep Net -A3

Additionally

dmesg | grep iwl

Please [edit] your question and add output of lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list terminal command. — Pilot6, Jul 28 '18 at 09:40
You had WiFi and it stopped working all of a sudden, do you either hit the keyboard key that's locks WiFi or you have a conflicting program with your ip, if that's the case is dhcp running and have you looked at dmesg and journalctl at all — , Jul 28 '18 at 10:02
You might try manually forcing the wifi adapter on after removing it and re enabling it with the verbose method — , Jul 28 '18 at 10:09
How would I do that, can you please give me detailed instructions? — Baron Yugovich, Jul 28 '18 at 14:36
Also dmesg gives too long output, please tell me specifically what to grep for, so I can paste it in the original question above. — Baron Yugovich, Jul 28 '18 at 14:45
