  1. Clicking on wifi icon does not cause list of networks to pop up


    Hello,I am working on configuring my home network so that I can connect to my NAS drive server remotely using a VPN. During this time I am needing to go back and forth between being on my LAN and then isolating a laptop by putting it on my cellphone hotspot so I can test if I can access the server and not only get the VPN to connect, which I can. When I click on the WiFi icon in my system tray area near the clock the list of networks refuses to pop up/open. There is no error message, it just ignores being clicked on. Please note the distinction that I HAVE the WiFi icon, I just cannot

    Clicking on wifi icon does not cause list of networks to pop up

    List availible wifi networks with powershell

    I always use elevated cmd and I tested it again it is the same on other computer.
    Point is if you are not connected to wifi you get all listed if you are connected to one wifi you get only tht one.
    But you must not click icon on taskbar for wifis for a minute. All networks are availible all the time
    Also I have no restrictions.

    C:\>netsh wlan show filters

    Allow list on the system (group policy)
    ---------------------------------------
    <None>

    Allow list on the system (user)
    -------------------------------
    <None>

    Block list on the system (group policy)
    ---------------------------------------
    <None>

    Block list on the system (user)
    -------------------------------
    <None>

    - - - Updated - - -

    when I use this line tha yes I get all wifis
