Windows 10: local area connection shortcut doesn't work

Hi

I have just upgraded my win 7 to Win 10 and am now tweaking it to the way I like it

I like to disconnect the internet whilst I'm using my external hard drives and in Win 7 I created a shortcut of "Local area connection" from Network Connections to my desk top where I could disable the internet and enable it by clicking the icon. Unfortunately this is not happening in Windows 10. I can create the desktop icon and right click it and click disable but when I click the desktop icon to enable the internet nothing happens. I was getting a panel internet status "disable , properties and other stuff" but I don't even get that now and that didn't allow you to connect anyway.

At the moment I have the "network connections" page permanently open but minimized so I can re-enable the internet from there which works but this is a two step operation whereas before it was a simple click. Is there away of recreating the win7 situation in win10

thanks

Michael

Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

Thanks again!!

I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

I ran SeaTools. These are the results:




Does it mean my HDD is useless?

Lumia 620 doesn`t connect to computer via usb cable

Hi yall and thanks for the replies!



Unfortunately, the were of no help.



The phone isn`t listed in device manager, the list of devices doesn`t change if I have my phone connected to my computer(s). There are no mystery devices, no yellow triangle -markings or anything even remotely pointing to the direction the phone being connected.

It could be that my phone has a broken usb port, but it makes me wonder that it still charges the battery when connected to a computer.



This is not a big problem for me, that I must admit, but still, it kinda bugs me that the phone doesn`t work the way it`s supposed to work,



Anyways, if somebody comes up with something that might help, I am most grateful.



Have a great weekend yall!

edit: Also, I have my laptop almost always connected to charger. Tried without charger just for the heck of it, didn`t help.
