Wifi Networks not showing

On my Laptop if I wanted to change the wifi connection I would always see a list of the available networks when I selected the Wifi icon on the task bar.
Since the last major update to Windows 10 I find that when I select the wifi icon I only see the current connection





To see other networks within range I have to open the 'Network settings' and choose 'Show available networks' - then they show up.





Does anyone have any explanation for this - or possibly a 'fix' to show them all from the taskbar again.

 

WiFi appears in Manage Known Networks, not in Show Available Networks

The list of WiFi connections shown when you click the WiFi icon in the taskbar is a list of all the signals that can currently be seen by the WiFi adapter. The list in Manage Known Networks is a list of all those you have previously successfully connected to, whether or not they are currently available.

The only plausible explanation is that for a while that WiFi signal had been turned off.

 

Possible WiFi network conflict

Got myself a situation I can't figure out: I got my main WiFi network coming from an Asus RT-N18U at channel 3, and then I got an ESP8266 01 as my toy network on channel 8. The thing is, when I turn on the ESP, they both disappear, together with most of neighbors networks. Usually their are 7, when both are on I get 1-2. Checked on multiple devices.

Any ideas what could cause this? Maybe plainly the ESP01 is a terrible device?
