I have installed Kali Linux on my Windows 10 laptop through the Microsoft store. Now when I use the command iwconfig, it says no wireless extensions next wifi0, wifi1 and wifi2. So I thoughthought my built-in wireless adapter is not capable of monitor mode, however, I have Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4 installed in my Laptop and it successfully captures packets, so to my understanding, my built-in adapter is capable of monitor mode.

My question is essentially why does it say "no wireless extensions" because I won't be able to use airmon-ng unless this is resolved. I'm relatively new to Kali Linux so please forgive if my understanding of the situation is incorrect.
