Windows 10: Windows 10, no wifi, no wifi setting in task bar, network settings menu crashes.

Hello, So I turned on my laptop today and found that I can't connect to my wifi network.

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.

No list available networks from task bar windows 10

Windows 10. Click on wifi icon on task bar. A gray box appears where the list of networks should appear. Within the gray box Is two small boxes one of my current internet connection and airplane mode. Just above those small boxes a text link,

"Network settings". I click network settings it opens a setting window that shows all available network connections, with the ability to connect to each. Why doesn't the list of available networks show when clicking the wifi icon on the task bar?

 

Network (wifi) settings won't stick

Network settings randomly flip. Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions?

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
Linksys Velop WHW0303 wifi
VPN
ASUS (Broadcom) 802.11ac network adapter

All drivers, firmware, and software seems to be up-to-date.

Network settings randomly flip:




The first column shows what is wanted. The second and third columns show what Windows flips to. Also, the Network Profile randomly flips from Public (which I want) to Private, but not vice versa.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
