    No wifi icon in taskbar


    Windows 10 Home
    Recently, the Wifi/Internet icon has disappeared from my status bar, although it is checked in Settings.
    It is shown in Hidden Icons as 'Not connected, No connections available'. This is strange as I am connected to the Internet and everything is working properly.
    How can I restore the icon to my status bar please?

    :)

  2. Battery Icon Gone on Taskbar [Windows 10]

    Hi there,

    I went to properties etc.

    and when I went on which icons appear on Taskbar the power icon was on and it was the Wifi/internet connection icon, but on my taskbar the only icon that is the wifi icon is my wifi. I'm really getting frustrated and confused now, even on
    'Which icons show up on taskbar' my batter on/off button is grey. I'm also not sure how to do the second option.

    How do i pin wifi icon to taskbar Win 10

    Hi Nic

    Hopefully it may just be switched off, go to Settings>Personalisation>Taskbar and scroll to Notifications Area and click on Select which Icons appear on the Taskbar and click to turn on wifi icon if it's off. Also click on the Show
    Hidden Icons pointer(upwards pointing arrow) on the right of the taskbar and if wifi icon shows you can click and drag it to the taskbar.

    I don't have a HP computer.

    My understanding is : some HP models have a Wifi key on the keyboard.
    Would F12 key be the one on yours ?

    It does not matter what computer the OP has. They have to uninstall the Device and driver to get the icon back.

    Find WIFI device. Click on it and go to Drivers, uninstall device and driver. Reboot and connect with Ethernet to install the correct driver. Then go into System and disable to allow Microsoft Updates from reinstalling their drivers. Basic 101 stuff.

    Have you tried signing in to one of the HP Pavilion Support forums and ask the folks there ?

    What I suggest is my business.
    You make your suggestion. I make mine.
    The OP will decide which way to go.

    This is the last time I will reply back to you.
    I only answer to the OP, the mods, the Admin and the forum owner.

    If you have problem with that, you have the right to report to the moderation department.
