The network icon on the Windows 11 lock screen does not respond when clicked

Question

When you click the network icon in the lower-right corner of the lock screen, no pop-up window appears and there is no response. You cannot view or switch network connections while the screen is locked; you must unlock the device and go to the desktop to perform these actions.

Ensure your system is fully updated, as updates often fix bugs related to the lock screen and network functions.
