How to Fix Missing Network Icons in Windows 10 (Active Connection)
Hello everyone, I'm encountering a strange issue with my Windows system: the icons and options representing the network status (Wi‑Fi/Ethernet) have completely disappeared from both the system tray and "Settings > Network & Internet." As a result, I can neither view nor select any networks, nor access settings pages like Airplane Mode.
