I've tried running netsh wlan show networks and the result was "error connecting to wireless autoconfig service (wlansvc): error 1220"
I'm not really sure what thatnmeans, any advice?

Validate that the services "WLAN Auto Config" depends on are all running.

Open a Powershell prompt and type Get-Service -Name "wlansvc" -ServicesDependedOn every service returned needs to be running if they are not type Start-Service -Name <insert service name in the name column> of the service(s) that are not running

I'd start out by running sfc /scannow to verify there isn't any corruption. Also open services.msc and valid the WLAN AutoConfig service is running as well as it's dependencies.

I'm not sure what a dependency is but WLAN is running.

I typed in *SFC /scannow* but it said I must be an administrator running a console session to use it
I'm not sure what a console session is but my info has me listed as an administrator.

You can to locate "Command Prompt" and right click and select "Run As Administrator".

Even though your user is a member of the administrators group your user actually runs as a regular user except when you invoke the "Run As Administrator" then that particular process will run with a special admin user token
