Windows 10: Wifi Icon issue

Something's wrong with this icon ever since last year when I brought my laptop. This issue only occurs on Windows 10 but gets fixed on Windows 11. I can still access the internet on Edge and play online games, but because the setting said that my laptop doesn't have access to the internet, which makes some of my apps just can't access the internet.Is there any fix for Windows 10?

:)
