Windows 10: how do I get the icon to connect to other networks that are available in my location

This is what I have on my desktop. I have attempted many times to get the wifi connection icon to my taskbar. Ive wached several Youtubes on how to make the internet icon available, but nothing works. When I click on the little monitor there, it says , "network connected and Network & Internet settings, Change settings, such as making a connection metered" When I click on this it takes me to the internet settings and then I get lost from there. Thank you for you help.

Network connection icon problem

Hi all,
Few days ago (since I have switched to Nvidia - I don't know is there any connection between them or not) I have a problem with the network connection icon. After the OS loads in, the icon is still loading about for a minute. When I open Chrome the internet connection is perfect, only the icon shows it's loading. It wouldn't be such a problem, but certain programs (for example GPU-Z) doesn't open until the icon stops loading.
What could be the problem, and how can I solve this? I have already uninstalled / reinstalled the network driver. Nothing has changed.
Thanks,
hazazs
