Your HP needs the very latest drivers for rtl8723de.

First, try booting to a Ubuntu 18.04.1 DVD/USB, and see if the wireless works. If it does, then you'll need to upgrade your OS. If it doesn't work, then see the following links for a driver that should work... with a little effort...

https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new

If you are looking for the driver for rtl8822be or rtl8723de, then execute the following command:

git checkout origin/extended -b extended

Installation instruction

You can find <> using lspci | grep Wireless. Afterwards, execute the following lines of codes in your shell:

You will need to install "make", "gcc", "kernel headers", "kernel build essentials", and "git".

If you are running Ubuntu, then

 sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git

Please note the first paragraph above.

For all distros:
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
cd rtlwifi_new
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -r <<YOUR WIRELESS DRIVER CODE>>
sudo modprobe <<YOUR WIRELESS DRIVER CODE>>

#### Option configuration
If it turns out that your system needs one of the configuration options, then do the following:

vim /etc/modprobe.d/<<YOUR WIRELESS DRIVER CODE>>.conf 

There, enter the line below:
`options <<YOUR WIRELESS DRIVER CODE>> <<driver_option_name>>=<value>`

https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2367405&page=11

sudo apt-get install git build-essential dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)
git clone -b extended https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
sudo dkms add ./rtlwifi_new
sudo dkms install rtlwifi-new/0.6
sudo cp /usr/src/rtlwifi-new-0.6/firmware/rtlwifi/* /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/

And searching for rtl8723de, here on AU, will find a few more posts of interest, like such...
