Windows 10: Wifi icon has disappeared/ stopped working

The wifi icon on my Windows 11 Dell XPS 13 laptop has disappeared. I can see in my device manager that the Intel R Wifi 6E AX211 network adapter has a yellow warning sign. I can’t use the ‘get help’ function on the Network and Internet section of setting or troubleshooting function as this requires me to be connected to the internet.

wifi icon disappeared and cannot access any wifi network

It happened so many times, and bluetooth did not work at the same time. I did everything experts suggested, but it worked from time to time. But I found an easy way. Because this happened quite frequently, I connected a wifi dongle that I bought previously. Everything came back after a few seconds. So I suggest you to buy a cheap wifi dongle and connect it. Then, the problem will be solved. Hope this helps.

WiFi icon has disappeared from system tray

I have Win 10 Pro 21H1 My WiFi icon has disappeared from system tray. How do I restore it please - or find an alternative way to display the list of available WiFi connections. It was showing earlier today. I was trying to print from a Samsung Galaxy to a 10-year-old MX340 printer, which is so old it's not supported by a driver. I was trying to print TCP/IP info. Thanks
