Why is the WLAN driver disabled and greyed out with wifi missing?

I am helping a friend fix his computer but I have been battling with the problem for over 5hours.
It's a Toshiba Satellite laptop, model P50-C-11v
The wifi icon is not displayed on the taskbar.
It is not found when searched for.
No WLAN driver. Once downloaded and installed, it doesn't appear.
I have gone to gpedit.msc to enable and disable the “remove icon…”, and reverted to its initial stage. None could fix it.
I have gone to services as an administrator to start the WLAN manager, WLAN Autoconfig, and wifi manager, and restarted the system, to no avail.
I went to bios settings, entered advanced settings and security, I couldn't find anything related to wifi or WLAN there which is not enabled. I saw LAN and it's enabled.
I solved a similar problem on a Lenovo system through the Bios settings, I enabled the i/o port access under security there but I am finding it hard to solve the same issue on Toshiba.
Running Windows Update Assistant did not solve it.
Resetting the system did not solve it.
I went to device manager and selected show hidden drivers. I found the WLAN driver there. I scanned the network adapter for hardware changes, reset the system but still can't find the wifi or WLAN connection in the system.
Why is the WLAN driver disabled and greyed out with wifi missing?
