    I get a yellow exclamation over my network icon


    So ive had this issue for quite some time and its really been a frustrating few months and nothing is working. What will happen if my laptop with windows 10 on it will very frequently decide to stop using internet. At this point it shows a yellow icon over my Wifi icon. Ive looked up this issue many many times and ive tried just rebooting the computer. Which then will allow internet to work for like 10-20 minutes then the same thing happens. Ive also tried uninstalling my wifi driver in the device manager and that will yield the same result as rebooting my computer. At this point i dont know what to do and am very overwhelmed with it.

    :)

    Yellow Exclamation mark over Internet icon

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. I understand that you are getting a yellow Exclamation mark over Internet icon in the notification area.
    I will surely help you to fix this issue.

    To understand the issue better, let me know what is the make and model number of the computer?

    Try the steps listed here:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to run the network troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    • Press Start Button and in the Windows Search type
      Troubleshooting
      .
    • Open Troubleshooting and select Network and Internet.
    • Run Network Adapter troubleshooter.
    Check if it helps to fix the issue.

    Method 2:

    I see that you have uninstalled and reinstalled latest wireless network drivers. However if you have not tried installing latest Wireless Network driver from the computer manufacturer website, I suggest you to try the same and
    check if it helps. Also install all the available Windows Update.

    Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of the issue so that we can assist you further.

    I get a yellow exclamation over my network icon

    Yellow Exclamation mark over Internet icon

    Hello, I have Windows 10 pro and I am able to connect to my Router wifi without any issues and have a working internet connection. I am able to browse internet and ping my DNS server, gateway etc, no issues but there is an yellow exclamation mark over the
    wifi internet icon in notification area. When I take my cursor there, popup says Limited connection next to my SSID!! When I click on it, below wifi icon, tag says "no internet". Earlier this yellow mark used to appear when there was no internet access. What
    all troubleshooting I have done:

    • Updated the wifi card drivers.
    • Checked for any firewall/security software conflicts.
    • Upgraded the router firmware and also used another router.
    • Changed the DNS from ISP to google to other open dns ip addresses.
    • Deleted and recreated wifi profile.

    Please suggest what else I can do and if I am missing something. Thanx
