Wifi Networks not showing

On my Laptop if I wanted to change the wifi connection I would always see a list of the available networks when I selected the Wifi icon on the task bar.
Since the last major update to Windows 10 I find that when I select the wifi icon I only see the current connection





To see other networks within range I have to open the 'Network settings' and choose 'Show available networks' - then they show up.





Does anyone have any explanation for this - or possibly a 'fix' to show them all from the taskbar again.

 

WiFi "Add button dissapeared. Can't connect to my home network.

Hmm, that is very strange Rusty. What do you see at the bottom of the Advanced screen?

Just out of curiosity, how many Known Networks are in the list? How many of them are Secure?
