Windows 10: Network Connections menu is unresponsive

My Network Connections menu Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections is very unresponsive. I can't right-click any of the connections to view the right click menu, and double-clicking a connection to open its properties takes about 30 seconds. This started recently. A week ago or so it wasn't a problem.


I'm on Windows 10 Pro 20H2 KB4598242 build 19042.746.

Losing network connection

Hello Dear, if you have a laptop or a PC with a wireless network adapter, you can see a list of available wireless networks and then connect to one of those networks. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

2. In the left pane, under Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
In case, If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Refresh network list. If you see the network but the signal is weak, move the PC closer to the wireless router.

3. Click the network you want to connect to, and then click Connect.

4. If you're connecting to a secure network, type the security key, and then click OK.

I Hope you solve out your query soon.
