So first, to Check the Kernel Version play:

And if it’s < 5.4.1 then see:

3. Loading Driver
Then to Load MediaTek MT76 Kernel Module
Usually Automatically loaded at Startup!
But in case, simply play:sudo modprobe mt76
Or for a USB Device try with:
sudo modprobe mt76-usb
To know that with Kernel 5.9 also a SDIO Socket version is introduced:
sudo modprobe mt76-sdio
Then restart the Network Manager Service play:
sudo service network-manager restart
Possibly, try also to unplug and replug in your Adapter.
Last choice to attempt is rebooting your System with:sudo reboot
Authenticate with the User Admin Pass.
If Got “User is Not in Sudoers file” then see: How to Enable sudo.
