Easy.On W11 I cannot do this anymore, I need to open cmd and then perform a ping to the desired machine.Anyone can help me with this little isse?Thanks

Startbar doesn't work upon wake

Upon waking my pc from sleep, the startbar stops working. Nothing happens when I click the windows icon in the bottom left(on startbar). I am forced to restart my pc.

If the startbar is working upon wake, sometimes I cannot connect to wifi. Although it is set to 'connect automatically', every time that I need to connect, I have to do it manually. To connect manually, I have to click the up arrow on the start bar to show
hidden icons. When I click on the wifi connection icon, nothing happens. I'm able to open other programs in this task tray, but clicking on the wifi icon does nothing.

I'm asking for help, because I think it's ridiculous to have to restart my computer every time my startbar stops working or I can't open my wifi connections.

 

BF3- Cant see ping (PC)

I don't think there is a way to show ping while playing. Ping is shown on the server list though.
