Windows 10: Wi-Fi with padlock icon prohibits to update friend's pc

my friend had a broken Windows the other day and did a clean install of Windows.

then, system downloaded the latest version, 2004.

because of the "turns No-internet connection with padlock icon" bug, he can't use most of the Microsoft-related software.

and he said "I can't check Windows Update"

this is very serious and we need to do something to fix it.

we've tried to change the registry, reset the wi-fi , and various measures, but none of them work.

What should we do?

:)

 

wi fi connection

After windows 1903 update I don't have any wi fi connection or icon showing and have tried many suggestions on how to get it, but none have worked.

Can you provide a step by step instruction on how to get wi fi icon and network.

 

Wrong wi-fi icon?

what if you try a simple disabling of the wifi network connection then enable it again and see if the icons change? It shows the Broadband connection as disabled anyways, so I cant think that would effect the icon status of the enabled wi-fi.

 

Wrong wi-fi icon?

I have my 'old' Black Panther system now connected by a wi-fi dongle.

There isn't a networking problem here, because the pc gets online with no problem.

However the bottom-right icon (near the clock) shows the symbol for not connected - 5 empty bars and a red cross over them.
Mousing over the icon it says 'network - internet access' *Confused And there is internet.

Why isn't the correct icon showing up? *Wtf :wtf:
