    Windows 10 wifi icon keeps changing to a globe and wont pick up my router


    I'm so frigging annoyed. Wifi icon keeps changing to a globe. I restart computer and it comes back but then does not pick up my router name, but we have 2 Abdroid phones connected to the router that is connected. I an also connect if I put my phone oon hotspot, that appears in the list of available networks.


    I have googled and searched to no avail.

    :)

    On occasion disconnected ethernet globe icon shows up

    I update my windows 10 a few days back and on occasion my wifi icon changes to a disconnected globe icon and I can't reconnect to the wifi unless I restart my PC. What the hell is going on? It's bad enough that the updates keep slowing down my PC and takes
    longer to startup!

    My icons keep changing, why?

    For some (very odd) reason, my icons keep changing from one to another. Sometimes the IE icon has the Windows Media player icon and vice verse.

    I have run ESET since I thought it to be a virus.. It's not. Could it be that my HDD is losing it?
