No Network/WiFi icon

Hi,

An outdated driver or corrupted system file can cause connection issues. Let's troubleshoot this by running the
Network Troubleshooter. This troubleshooter can help us to identify the cause of the issue and fix it at the same time.

To run the troubleshooter:

• First, in the search box on the taskbar, type Network troubleshooter.
• Then, select Identify and repair network problems from the list of results.
• Lastly, follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that fixes the issue.

If the issue still persists, we suggest the following:

Download and run the easy fix solution: Find and fix problems with wireless and other network adapters.

Update the network adapter driver.

To do this:

• In the search box on the taskbar, type Device Manager, and then select
  Device Manager from the list of results.
• In Device Manager, select Network adapters, then click network adapter name.
• Press and hold (or right-click) the network adapter, and then select
  Update driver.
• Select Search automatically for updated driver software. Follow the steps, then select
  Close.
• After installing the updated driver, select Start, then click
  Power.
• Select Restart if you're asked to restart, and see if that fixes the connection issue.

Note: If Windows can’t find a new driver for your network adapter, visit the PC manufacturer’s website and download the latest network adapter driver from there.For more troubleshooting steps, please visit these article: Fix network connection issues in
