Cellular option missing from Action Center Windows 10

Hello,

The issue might cause it the Adapter for Cellular data is disabled. I suggest you to enable from Control Panel by following the steps below and check.

• Right Click on Start button and select
  Control Panel.
• Click on Network and Sharing Center.
• In the left pane, click on Change adapter settings.
• Right click on the Network (Cellular Data) and select Enable.
• Provide the Administrator password if prompted and check for status.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

 

Cellular option missing after upgrading to Windows 10

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

• What is the version of Windows 10 installed on the computer?
  
  Which Windows operating system am I running?
  
  
• When you say that the cellular option is missing in Windows, where are you trying to locate the setting/option?
  

Please refer to the following article to know about cellular settings in Windows 10.

It is possible that the adapter is disabled. Let’s see if we can enable it back.

• Open the Run window by pressing the
  Windows key and the R key together.
  
• Type NCPA.CPL and hit the Enter key.
  
• Locate the adapter name, right click on it, select
  Enable and check if it fixes the issue.
  

As per the device manufacturer’s support site, the driver updates for this device were released in 2016 which may not be compatible with the latest version of Windows 10.

For the latest update on the compatible systems, kindly refer to:
Accessories and Options Compatibility Matrix (OCM)



However I would suggest to uninstall the EM7345 4G LTE Mobile Broadband driver completely and reinstall it.

• Download the device driver from:
  Sierra Wireless EM7345 Software for Windows 10 (64 bit)
  
• Right click on Start button (Windows logo) and select Device Manager.
  
• Under network adapters, locate Sierra Wireless EM7345 4G LTE.
  
• Right click on the device and select uninstall.
  
• Tick the checkbox to delete the driver from your computer.
  
• Reboot the computer install the driver downloaded from the above link.
  
• Reboot the computer again and see if it works.
  

You may also want to try downloading drivers from:

I would also suggest to update the device firmware from the device manufacturer’s support site or contact
Sierra support for updated device firmware.



Hope it helps,

The option for cellular missing after upgrade to windows 10

Hello Vincent,

The cellular connection option is usually listed on the right side of
Network and Internet tab of Settings on Windows 10. Since you mentioned that it's now missing after the upgrade, we'll need to check first if it's just disabled or totally nowhere to be found.

Is your cellular option still appearing under Network Connections? Here's how you'll find out, on your Search option, type in
Settings > click on Network & Internet > Network and Sharing Center >
Change adapter settings > Check if your cellular option is still there. For example, you should see a name like "Mobile Broadband 1", then right-click on it and click
Enable.

Please let us know what happens after. We're so much interested in the results.
