(SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.

 

Google Drive icon disappeared from notification area on right side of taskbar

Dear ArleneL,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community



I understand the importance of having quick access to your Google Drive icon in the notification area of your Windows taskbar and the inconvenience caused by its sudden disappearance.

To resolve this issue, please follow the steps below:

1. Check Hidden Icons:
   
   • Click the up arrow (^) located in the notification area to view hidden icons.
     
   • Look for the Google Drive icon among the hidden icons. If you find it there, you can drag and drop it to the visible area for easy access.
     
2. Reset Notification Area Icons:
   
   • Open the "Settings" app by clicking on the Start button and selecting the gear icon.
     
   • Go to "Personalization" and then click on "Taskbar".
     
   • Scroll down and click on "Other system tray icons".
     
   • Find Google Drive in the list and ensure that the toggle switch is turned on.
     
3. Reinstall Google Drive: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, consider reinstalling Google Drive Sync following these steps:
   
   • Uninstall Google Drive from your computer through the Control Panel or Settings.
     
   • Download and reinstall Google Drivefrom the official website.
     

If after doing these troubleshooting steps and only the Google Drive icon is showing up with this issue, I suggest you head over to the official Google Drive forums and post a query, they may be able to provide more specific guidance on the issue you're facing.

Windows button, New Notifications, and Speakers Not Working


Hello.

I'm a relative newcomer to personal computers.

I'm using Windows 10, 64-bit. About a week ago or so, the Windows button, the New Notifications button, and the Speakers button stopped working. For example, when I left click on the Windows a button small circle appears for a few seconds and then disappears, but that's all.

Curiously, perhaps, when I right click on the buttons they work (in terms of "right clicking" (sorry about the phrase).

Any suggestions as to how the solve this problem is appreciated.

Thank you.
