There have been numerous reports of Wireless Issues in Windows 10 Version 1709 (Build 16299) Creators Fall Update where a system is unable to connect to the internet using Wireless. Either no networks are seen or only the network you are connected to is seen but you have No Internet. Disabling and Re-enabling the Wi-Fi doesn't work and your only choice seems to be a restart of the computer:
