Windows 10: Windows 10 wifi icon shows not connected - connections available - but internet works fine?

Windows 10 wifi icon shows not connected - connections available - but internet works fine?

Hi all.


I've tried researching this issue without success - very simply, the wifi icon on my toolbar has a small white asterisk next to it, and when you hover the mouse over it, it states NOT CONNECTED - CONNECTIONS ARE AVAILABLE.


When I click on the same icon, it shows my home wifi - but beneath it says NO INTERNET, SECURED


This is more than a little puzzling as I have access to the internet and my email etc works fine. I've tried the usual removal and reinstallation of wifi drivers etc,but no luck fixing it so far.


Incidentally, the windows maps app does not appear to be working properly either, telling me that I need an internet connection to overlay images etc.

:)

I'm still waiting for a callback from windows help (2 weeks later) - any help would be gratefully received!

Thanks,
