    Windows Security with yellow exclamation instead of green check and won't open


    Sometimes when I booted my computer, Windows Security shows a yellow exclamation. I tried double clicking but it won't open so I restarted my PC and got a green check. How do I fix it so it won't show the yellow exclamation sign again?

    :)

    Yellow Exclamation mark over Internet icon

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. I understand that you are getting a yellow Exclamation mark over Internet icon in the notification area.
    I will surely help you to fix this issue.

    To understand the issue better, let me know what is the make and model number of the computer?

    Try the steps listed here:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to run the network troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    • Press Start Button and in the Windows Search type
      Troubleshooting      .
    • Open Troubleshooting and select Network and Internet.
    • Run Network Adapter troubleshooter.
    Check if it helps to fix the issue.

    Method 2:

    I see that you have uninstalled and reinstalled latest wireless network drivers. However if you have not tried installing latest Wireless Network driver from the computer manufacturer website, I suggest you to try the same and
    check if it helps. Also install all the available Windows Update.

    Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of the issue so that we can assist you further.

    Windows Security with yellow exclamation instead of green check and won't open

    Yellow Exclamation mark over Internet icon

    Hello, I have Windows 10 pro and I am able to connect to my Router wifi without any issues and have a working internet connection. I am able to browse internet and ping my DNS server, gateway etc, no issues but there is an yellow exclamation mark over the
    wifi internet icon in notification area. When I take my cursor there, popup says Limited connection next to my SSID!! When I click on it, below wifi icon, tag says "no internet". Earlier this yellow mark used to appear when there was no internet access. What
    all troubleshooting I have done:

    • Updated the wifi card drivers.
    • Checked for any firewall/security software conflicts.
    • Upgraded the router firmware and also used another router.
    • Changed the DNS from ISP to google to other open dns ip addresses.
    • Deleted and recreated wifi profile.

    Please suggest what else I can do and if I am missing something. Thanx
