Windows 10: How to fix a missing network icon and no internet connection.

My laptop with windows 10 went through an automatic disk repair today and after the repair I noticed the wifi connection stopped working after around a minute. I noticed the wifi icon on the task bar has disappeared and when I try to open network settings in the settings app, the app immediately crashes. I checked the device manager and my usual network adapter is still there but there is no internet connection. What should I do to fix this issue?

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
