Windows 10: Network issues; strangle black rectangles over network connections

I am running windows 10 on a desktop computer, have had the desktop for about 2 years now, have not done anything new on the computer lately downloaded any new programs and this is happening. At first it wouldn’t let me even connect to any networks. I turned off the adapter and restarted the computer and then reenabled the adapter and i can now get online. However, the black rectangles are still over my network connection options. Also, I can surf the internet again but i cannot print from the browser, i can save the documents i want to print to my computer and then print.

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.
