Greetings,

Two days ago my Internet/Wireless connectivity icon suddenly disappeared from the tray. I found this thread here:

http://forums.techguy.org/windows-vi...sappear-2.html

The first fix worked immediately until I rebooted again this morning. The icon was gone again. I tried the second fix shown which suggests altering the power settings, but my settings were already set accordingly.

I've been asking myself "what did I install two days ago that could have caused this?" and the anser is "nothing". Nothing except the usual stuff that Windows Update sends down the line and who knows what that contains? Defender updates, security updates. I suppose it could be in one of those.

Can anyone suggest a handling?

Thanks!

Hi what i have done in the past to make the network icon reappear, is simply to do a reboot, i offer no explanation as to why it worked but in all the times that i've lost network,volume or power icons a simple reboot has solved it

Hi Tuneman, wise words. I can heartily agree with you. Only the Computergod knows why. In this case it didn't do the trick.

Sorry my idea didn't work like i said it has for me many times in the past

Hi Tuneman,

I haven't had a chance to try your fix yet. I reset the registry when I made the post. The last time I did that the next day the icon was gone again but this time the icon has been staying where it's supposed to be for the past two days. I figure don't screw with it until it breaks. Thanks again.

Thanks for posting back, glad it seems ok now, and yeah don't try to fix it if it ain't broke, take it easy
