Unable to set interface up in Ubuntu 18.04

I just installed Ubuntu 18.04 on a new laptop. During the installation I was able to connect to a network, so when I finished the installation and updated the software, Ubuntu is not showing any visible network.

when I run sudo lshw -C network I got the next output:

*-network DISABLED

Also checked ip interfaces with ip link, and tried to set them up with ip link:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noquere state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

    link/ether 80:30:49:04:30:d3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

but then this error appeared when I tried sudo ip link set wlp1s0 up:
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

Don’t know where to go from here, also tried to restart network manager but it didn’t solve the problem,

Actually the thing that is breaking up the network is the software update, but obviously I need it.
