Wifi settings missing soon after installation- Fedora 31 / Windows 10 dual boot

Hi all, total newbie here. I cannot find the wifi settings on a recently installed Fedora 31. Yesterday everything worked fine, but today there is no icon for internet connection on the top GNOME toolbar. When I open network settings with the GUI, there is only an option to set up a VPN, but nothing for connecting to a wifi network. I cannot find any mention of wifi settings at this point. I am still able to use Wifi on Windows as normal.

This is a dual-booted Fedora 31/Windows 10 Machine (installed Fedora/Linux for the first time yesterday) with an Intel Dual Band WIreless-AC 7265 card

What I have tried so far:
Checking the NetworkManager.state file:$sudo gedit /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state[/FONT]
-NetworkingEnabled = true
-WirelessEnabled = true
-WWANEnabled = true

I then checked "$sudo iwconfig" in the terminal, which states tx-power = 0, not sure what that means

Then I tried this suggestion, which also did not change anything:
$gedit /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state
$sudo service network-manager stop #here it tells me network-manager is not available
$sudo rm /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state
$sudo service network-manager start

This solution was also suggested, but did not fix the issue either:
$echo "options rt2800pci nohwcrypt=y" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rt2800pci.conf
$sudo modprobe -rfv rt2800pci
$sudo modprobe -v rt2800pci
$sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/*

Many thanks, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=vAT5iJ-zvTQ:d_bM0pVs880:F7zBnMy latest?i=vAT5iJ-zvTQ:d_bM0pVs880:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=vAT5iJ-zvTQ:d_bM0pVs880:gIN9vFwvAT5iJ-zvTQ
