    Windows 10: network disappeared and settings cannot open


    Hello,

    After Dec 29th update, which is today, network dispeared from my taskbar. My desktop has been disconnected from internet. I tried to run troubleshooting, but no result. Settings wouldn't open. All Settings cannot open, and setting windows just flashes and closes itself.

    I tried to uninstall network adaptor driver. Did not work.

    I tried to restore my system from last check point. did not work.

    I tried to plug in ethernet cable. did not work.

    Can someone help me with that?

    Thanks and happy new year!

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  3. Settings in Windows 10 - not opening. Just flash and disappears

    Thanks Kiran,

    I have problem only with "settings". I am able to click open all other listed apps and functions. My windows was all updated just before Windows 10 installation started.

    I am working on other steps that you suggested above. Will let you know the outcome soon.

    Thanks again.

    Cannot open network and sharing center in windows 10

    Hi Aman,

    In order to understand the issue in a better manner, please share the following details


    • Do you get any error message, when trying to open network and sharing center?
    I suggest you to follow the steps below to fix the issue.

    Method 1: Install all the Windows 10 pending updates and check if it helps.

    I suggest you check for the pending updates in resolving the issue.


    • In search type Check for updates and hit enter.

    • Click on Check for updates.

    • Windows 10 will automatically install all the pending updates.
    If the issue still persist, suggest you to try the below step to fix the issue.

    Method 2: I suggest you to
    Run the DISM Tool and check.

    The DISM tool checks the system health and will try to restore the files.

    • Right click on the Start button, click on Command Prompt (Admin).
    • In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press the
      Enter key after each command:
    • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    To close the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type
    Exit, and then press Enter.

    Reference: I suggest you to follow the steps recommended in the below article for any network connection issues.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10741/windows-10-fix-network-connection-issues
