Windows 10: List of available networks

I saw a previous thread about the wifi button on task bar not working after a major Windows 10 update. I believe I might have succumbed to the same problem. When I clicked on the button prior to the Windows update I would see a list of my available wireless networks. Now it just crashes out and never let's me see other wireless networks, I can still connect to the wireless network that I had setup prior to the Windows update but it makes it impossible to use new wireless networks when I travel with my laptop.


This is my windows version:





The wireless button I'm referring to is:





I have yet to find a fix to this issue, has anyone experienced this and was able to fix it?


Thanks heaps.

Wifi List of Available Networks Blank

Hi Alex,

If you are having an issue with viewing available wireless networks on your computer, one most possible reason is that the wireless adapter has been disabled under the Network and Sharing Center. In order for us to properly isolate the issue, let's go back
to the basic step of checking that out and proceed from there.

Please do the following steps:

• Go to the Start Menu and select Control Panel.
• Click the Network and Internet category.
• Select Networking and Sharing Center.
• From the options on the left-hand side, select Change adapter settings.
• Right-click on the icon for Wireless Connection and click
  Enable.
• If it shows that it has always been enabled, click on Disable and then click on
  Enable.
  

Once done, please try to view available wireless networks again and let us know the result.

Regards.
