Can't see Wi-Fi settings in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

I am new to Ubuntu and until yesterday all was working fine but when I booted Ubuntu today I can't see the WiFi options in my tray or in the settings.

enter image description here

I have tried restarting the network manager using sudo network-manager restart but there isn't any change.

I also tried lshw -c network and I get the following results

Also running sudo modprobe iwlwifi && dmesg | grep iwlwifi gives me this error

I got the same issue today when I turned on my PC. My WiFi driver was unavailable in the ‘Additional drivers’ section of ‘Software & Updates’. I tried and checked if this would fix with restarting the PC. But it didn’t.

So, I connected my PC through wired connection and updated Ubuntu through ‘Software Updater’. After that I restarted my PC and now it is working fine.
