Windows 10: Network icon not working anymore

I have a wonky internet connection so I really like to see how things are going by the small icon that is either Pc like or globe like. However my pc has been always showing the no internet icon no matter what my connection is actually like. What are things that could cause this? What should I try to do?

Did our Epson printer get hacked?

Another question, is this on a home network or a work network? The steps @eidairaman1 listed are always a good first step. If this is on a work network you manage, I'd be much more concerned than the home one. It is possible someone is screwing with you, but malware could also be the culprit.

 

The Network Panel does not open when I Click on Network Icon

Hi,

Thank you for providing us a detailed description of the issue with your network icon and for sharing with us the troubleshooting steps you've already tried to resolve this problem. Since everything has been updated, what we can try is to manage your wireless
networks. Let's see if clearing out the known networks on your WiFi settings and reconnecting to your own network will address it. Please follow the steps below:

• Open Settings and click Network & Internet.
• In the left pane, click WiFi, then Manage Wi-Fi settings.
• Under Manage known networks, remove the networks that you don't connect to anymore.

Once cleared, click the network icon on your taskbar and see if it opens. Let us know if the problem persists so we can further check on it.

Regards.
