- Network reset. / Internet options reset.
- CMD commands to find wi fi's. / To reset sock.
- Network and hardware troubleshooting.

- No wi fi icon in change adapter settings.
* Note 1: There's no wi fi settings showed.
* Note 2: No hotspot or wi fi or airplane mode icons showed in the taskbar nor in settings itself.
Errors shown may help: 1- No interface
2- no wireless driver.

1. Is the WiFi adapter enabled in BIOS?
2. Was it worked before?
3. What is the model number of the WiFi adapter?
4. In order to get better information about your system, please download the Intel System Support Utility (SSU). Run the SSU scan (check "Everything") and save the results. The .txt file with the results please attach to your post.

Well, the SSU report isn't seeing a wireless adapter at all. Are you sure your PC has one? According to the Optiplex documentation, this is an optional feature. Are you actually seeing antennas connected to the exterior of the PC?

The PCI WiFi card (as proposed by Scott), can be installed in PCI slot 1 or 4 only. Please refer to Optiplex 3050 User Manual, pages
26 - 38 for instruction how to install PCIe expansion card (on pages 29 - 33, please find specific instructions for WLAN PCIe card and WiFi antennas).
Section 5 in the above User Manual explains the BIOS settings, but since the PCIe slot is enabled by default, you probably will be not required to change anything.

Then you do not have a Wireless capability at all. You will have to add it yourself - which you can do through Dell (this is the expensive route) or by purchasing separately. Here is an example of a card you could purchase: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SHPKKBR. This gives you the Intel AX210 silicon, which provides support for WiFi 6e (allows connections via 5.0GHz or 6.0GHz bands), Wireless-AX and Bluetooth 5.3.
Hope this helps,
...S
