Solution
The solution that worked was the one mentioned here and linked to by chili555 in the comments: hold down the power button for 5 seconds to power cycle the laptop.
Original Question
I installed Ubuntu for the first time on my laptop and it does not detect the wifi adapter. Following this guide, I tried to manually install the newest Intel firmware (for Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX210 160MHz). It did not help. Next, I reinstalled Ubuntu which also changed nothing.
Running the script mentioned in https://askubuntu.com/a/425205/1651284 to collect some information about the wifi gives the following output:
########## wireless info START ##########
