    Windows network icon always disconnected (even though I can browse)


    So with the latest update, my notification tray icon for network connectivity always says I have 'No Network Access'. This is weird since I'm connected via ethernet and am able to browse, torrent, etc. everything without problems. I thought the issue was purely cosmetic, but I realized that all Windows Apps (like Netflix) or even Office think that I'm not connected to the internet.

    Any idea on how to fix this? I've tried resetting the network adapter, rebooting multiple times, etc.

    Win10: Version 2004 (OS Build 19041.329)

    :)

    what icons are you referring to?
    In the Windows Explorer list or desktop?

  3. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

    Network Icon Absent

    Latest Window 10 update caused Network Icon to disappear. All suggested cures send you looking for items in Control Center that do not exist. I have tried at least 10 different sets of instructions but always get stopped when a step requires you go to a
    step that doesn't exist.
