Windows 7 network icon systems do not show popup connections

Normally, when you simply right click on the Windows 7 network icon in the system tray, it opens a window showing your connections and available all other connections. Now however, after using the laptop for several hours, and after that unlocks a few Office and a resumption of the mode standby, this no longer works. I click and nothing happens. The only way I can access this is right-click on the icon, open the network and sharing Center then click on "connect or disconnect." It is a pain I need to connect/disconnect continuously different VPN.

If I re-boot it starts working again. I can't find the exact scenario to make, work stoppage, but it happens regularly.

Hope there is a fix for this.

Hello

Try these but I recommend that you ask in the TechNet forums also as perhaps more

  • Animation/Windows Vista network icon?

    im a bit disappointed with how the new icon. Before slot windows XP would only Flash when there is traffic flowing through them, but the new version of Vista flashes randomly. How can I get my network icons to work only when there is current network activity?

    I tried to right click the icon and turn on the animation activity. but nothing happens.

    Please correct this problem in windows 7 please.

    miro2009,
    I'm sorry that you are not satisfied with the way Vista displays the LAN activity.  However, there is not a way to change this.  You are invited to read all about Windows 7 which has a release candidate available for free download.  I don't know if the icon of LAN traffic is different in Windows 7 it is XP.  You can read all about Windows 7 here:

  • T610 with Windows Embedded 7 - the system does not license for the operating system image

    Hello community,

    I bought a refurbished computer ThinClient T610 that is running a Windows 7 Embedded English. The label on the package says, that the computer ThinClient is allowed with W7E. When I now run Easy Tools installed on the computer ThinClient hp to create a USB Image with the German language, everything works fine: the image is downloaded from the web and put on the stick.

    But after you start the stick, the installation program tells me: "the system does not license for the operating system image. What I am doing wrong? The BIOS is already the latest.

    Or y at - it another way to transform the operating system in German? There should be an option to download additional languages, but this particual window has no other options. And I have not found any manual way to download other languages.

    Concerning

    Michael

    Sometimes it can be so easy... ;-)

    So here's my solution:

    1. go on the Web for hp Support site

    2. go in the software and driver download

    3. set the language of driver on the language of your choice (in fact: it was the main problem)

    4. download an operating system image

    5. run the configuration tool and copy the image of an operating system on a flash drive

    6. restart the workstation and install the os

    7. take advantage of your computer ThinClient in the language of your choice

    I don't know, why the hp Easy Tools downloaded the image of evil, but with this solution, that I find myself at the same point, as if they did.

  • Windows 7 custom sound system plays not

    I tried to substitute other sounds .wav for standard system sounds in System 7, but they do not play. These same soundsdo play if I select and play in a window of Windows Explorer. Standard system sounds (I use Raga) play as expected. Any thoughts on what is happening?

    This has to do with the name of the file. She seems to be a bug, while the file works only if the file has the word "Windows" at the beginning of the file name.

    PS There is also a bug where the "Select" sound does not work any file that you put.

  • Windows 7 all of a sudden not saving the connection properties

    I have a wireless network and several devices are connected to including a PC with Windows 7.  I've never had a problem connecting to my wireless network which is provided by a NETGEAR router, so far. Since a few days ago, Windows 7 has started to lose the property of "connect automatically" after that it recharges, and I think that it is losing the security key.  After a reboot, I have to enter the security key and be connected manually. My other devices are connect very well.

    I tried the following to resolve the problem.

    • Turned off the setting allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    • Ran sfc/scannow to fix corrupt or missing system files, but they are beautiful.
    • Updated the driver software

    Any help you can provide is appreciated. Please provide the rationale for your suggestion (s).

    Thank you

    Hi Patrick,

    After the description of the question, I understand that after reboot the computer does not automatically connect to the wireless network.

    Hello

    If the AC adapter is plugged into the laptop that Toshiba Power saver should show a connected adapter. In this case the laptop must not run on battery!
    If you you unplug the adapter icon which appears in the taskbar should move from adapter to battery.

    One question; How old is your battery?
    Usually after several times the battery loses performance and it possible s you will be able to use the battery only for a few minutes. After this period, the battery is empty and needs to be recharged.

    Maybe your battery performance isn't the best right now and it should be replaced. ?:|
    This should be checked permanently.

    Good bye
