Network notification icon does not not for left click.

Hi all. All of a sudden my icon in the notification area network connection seems to be insensitive to the left click. This must, of course, open the "currently signed to" connect/disconnect menu type, IE: http://i.technet.microsoft.com/ff847520.Davies.CG.0710.Fig1(en-us,MSDN.10).jpg

Here are a few things I checked:

  • Left click works on other icons.
  • Right-click on the icon (which works), go to network and sharing Center and clicking 'connect or disconnect' works by triggering the appropriate menu.
  • Icon from disabling and re-enabling it.
  • Apart from this the icon looks in good condition, and all my network seems to be good too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Keith d.c,

Put the computer in safe mode with network and see if the problem persists:

If the problem is not repeated in safe mode, there is probably a startup item or service is causing the problem. Follow the steps on the following link to locate the item or service is causing the issue:
