Windows 10: Accessing wireless internet troubleshooter through taskbar icon or via shortcut link...

Unfortunately I upgraded to Windows 11. And unfortunately I live in a very remote village in Alaska, where the internet is constantly malfunctioning. To remedy internet connectivity issues in the past with all other versions of Windows, I would right click on the internet icon in the taskbar beside the clock whether it be a wireless internet icon or a LAN icon, and click TROUBLESHOOT so that the troubleshooter would open, upon which I could then run the troubleshooter as a way to refresh the connection. But that option is not available in Windows 11. Is it possible to access the wireless int

Taskbar shortcut icons disappeared


After checking and configuring my router I went to the regular desktop view which is plain and looks like Win7
Only the quick access, internet icon, notices, lanquage and clock icons were visible.
I had created a new toolbar which referenced the start menu in Windows Program Data.
It was spread across the taskbar rather than compacted and previously available by clicking on the title Programs tucked in beside Quick Access.
There was no visible line to use with the cursor for dragging this bunch of links across into the right side area.
I removed that toolbar.
The few daily use Taskbar shortcut icons when created cannot be dragged to the taskbar even if I lock it.
(Browser, email, Notepad++,Everywhere search and a link to a Quick Stack popup collection of shortcuts)
Any open application is not displaying on the taskbar
Considered a 'Restore' and checked the list of restore points with a utility System Restore Explorer and it lists Oct.20 as the last restore point. I'm assuming Win10 does not do a daily restore point.
The last system image is Oct.7 so several Windows updates would have to be done over and there are a couple of those.
Is there a registry edit or workaround to restore the taskbar so shortcuts can be pinned there?

 

Blank shortcut icon GPU-Z

I know I am quite late but as I was scrolling through I saw this post which happened to one of friend too. This sometimes happens with Windows. Usually a reboot will solve the problem. However if this doesn't, try setting the icon for the shortcut(right-click pinned icon, right-click program, left-click properties, select "change icon...") or refreshing it by switching to a different icon, applying it, and then reverting back to the original icon. Remove the shortcut from the taskbar and replace it with the start menu shortcut or simply drag the .exe file to the taskbar.

 

MDB Shortcut Opens In Another Access Taskbar Icon

Hi Dan,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I'll need a few more details to provide an accurate solution:

• Is the issue specific to Access application?
  
• Have you removed the previous shortcuts and try adding them again?
  

I would suggest you to remove all the Office shortcuts from the taskbar. Now go back to the same location
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\MSACCESS.EXE. Left-click the name of the program, and drag it onto your desktop. Now, Right click the application icon on the desktop, and click "Pin this program to the taskbar".

For more information, refer the Microsoft article on
Create a
desktop shortcut for an Office program or file.
