Windows 10: Minor, annoying change in last update

Hi, this is a small perhaps silly issue, but one that's really bugging me.

It is about the internet connectivity icon on the taskbar.

Before the last update, this icon was the standard wifi icon, which showed a yellow warning if wifi was on but unable to connect, and a red warning if wifi was off.

This was a very useful distinction - wifi on but unconnected vs. wifi off.

Now, after the last update, the icon has changed to a globe. The globe is exactly the same whether wifi is on and unconnected, or if it is off.

IT WASN'T BROKEN - why the change??

Why have they made it LESS informative??

How do I get my old icon back??

:)

 

Minor suggestion for Check for updates

No, I know that. Exactly where I suggest this to be changed, please note.
Sorry for not being clear.

The Check for updates small window currently does not show what I ask to be added - program version. Please consider adding this. Many other programs have this, so I suggest for GPU-Z to have it too.
