On boot up unknown icon appears

When I boot up my laptop an icon appears at the end of my taskbar. It quickly disappears. It seems like it might connect someone to my laptop. I say this because I see unknown devices on my network. I've seen a Linux PC, an Apple device which I don't use. Also a hidden network.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sherian -

Thanks for the response and I do apologize on the delayed on mine.

If the icon no longer shows on your computer during boot then it means that it is a service running on the background of your windows during windows boot. You don't need to turn the services back on as they will automatically turn on when triggered. If you undo the changes, the icon might appear again.

As for the hidden network, it seems to be a Wi-Fi connection that the computer detected. If it is a Wi-Fi or a hotspot, then windows will automatically detect it and as long as you don't connect to that network, then the computer will be fine.

Regards,
