Windows 10: Laptop wifi icon meaning

What does this mean? My wifi internet says its connected but can't access the internet. I have tried every troubleshooting I can find and nothing has fixed the issue. Normally when the wifi is working right this will be colored

:)

 

guest on wifi

It's really funny, when I right-click on my wifi icon the guest is on the list there, but when I did what you suggested, it wasn't on that list. What does that mean ?

 

Windows 10 wifi not turning on Acer Aspire laptop

In order to get the list of available wireless networks, you have to:

1. Switch on Connect to suggested open hotspots (see the screenshot in question);
   
2. Click on Wifi icon in the right corner. Now you have your networks back.
   

After that the parameter from Step 1 can be turned off, networks will be listed normally after restarting Wifi.

P.S. I feel rather stupid at the moment. I thought that open hotspots are passwordless hotspots and so are presumably not very safe. So of course I've turned that off during installation.
Really hard to see any logic in this case.
