  • Network and sharing Center shows not connected, but the computer is connected to the wireless network

    When I open the network and sharing Center, or hold my mouse pointer on the icon of internet connection in the bottom right of the taskbar, it shows that I'm not connected to a network. However, I know that I'm connected to the internet. My internet and e-mail work correctly. Also, when I click on the 'Connect to a network' option, find the list of available wireless networks, and it shows that I'm connected to my home network. How can I make Windows everywhere where I am connected to the internet, instead of recognizing only on the list of the networks without wire-available?

    Had exactly the same problem on Windows 7 (win7). Connected to the Internet but the status showing no connection and a red cross on the network icon. Problem has also caused problems to connect to Lync and Office365 along with VPN, which apparently uses the status to check whether the connection is available.

    Found the solution here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itpronetworking/thread/df17c593-e78f-4878-97b0-7569307934c5

    Apparently, certain permissions gets hurt in the database record and must be fixed using RegEdit. The solution is a step by step and likely to be resolved simply by removing a cache of file using RegEdit and potentially affecting certain permissions.

    Why you are posting in the forum, IE?  Maybe the reason why you try to use the CP is to enter Internet Options?  If so, you can do it without the help of Windows Explorer (at least on your operating system) starting (using the Task Manager if necessary): control.exe inetcpl.cpl

    Otherwise what your problem probably means is that you have added something new to the root of the control panel which is not compatible with your OS, causing thus the Windows Explorer (not IE) crashing.  In this case, the same way you could get in Add Remove programs without involving Windows Explorer by starting: control.exe appwiz.cpl

    You can get help more informed by post on a forum that specializes in performance and Maintenance of your operating system.

  • Corrupt system tray icons

    My system tray icons have disappeared - apparently after an uninstall of Norton Internet Security (itcould be independent - but a lot of things went wrong at the same time!)

    I tried fiddling with the options of customization of system tray - hide / show etc - but this has no effect. In addition, in this menu, all icons are false. for example, the volume control - normally a photo of a mini speaker - is now just a folder icon in windows (like most of them) while others have bad program icon.

    Any ideas?

    I presume that you have uninstalled Norton via the Control Panel / Add or remove programs.  If you haven't already done so, you must also download and run the Norton removal tool.  For more information, see

    Hello

    Good luck, you need technical support for a real computer store or system manufacturer is supported.

    Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
    Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
    obstacles in the path?

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon. You can download these on another
    computer if you need to and transfer on removable media.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • wireless system tray icon disappears when the wired connection is present

    When I plug in ethernet, the wireless icon disappears in the system tray.  Sometimes I connect to a Wi - Fi, and at the same time.

    Is there a way to make it stay put?

    Hello

    It is not possible to show the two notification icons when you connect to a Wi - Fi network and at the same time in the system tray.

    When you connect to a wired connection, it will display the wired connection icon and if you connect to the internet wireless, it will display an icon of wireless connection. Both will appear in the same time.

    However if you have connected both cables and wireless Internet, it will show you one of the two icons based on the priority that you have set.

    We can change the priority of the network connections and make them follow an order of desired connection. You can make Windows 8 use wired connection instead of wireless. When you start your laptop, if there is a wireless connection, your Windows laptop will connect to the Wi - Fi connection. Even if you connect to a wired connection, usage will continue to be the Wi - Fi connection. This is because, when more than one network connection is available, Windows uses the one with the lowest metric value.

    To change the priority of network connection, follow the steps.

    a. press the Windows key + C.

    b. Select Search and then type network connections.

    c. now, click the ALT key to open the convening of Menu bar. Click on advanced settings. This will open the properties box.

    d. under the tab cards and links, you will see the list of connection and Windows services related to the order in which they are consulted by network connections and others. The default value is Wi - Fi, Ethernet, and then remote access. The network connections service manages objects in the network and remote access connections folder, in which you can view the local area network and remote connections. Using up and down arrows, you can change their order and set it according to your priorities. When you change the setting as shown above and make Ethernet as first choice, your laptop will use the wired connection first by choice.

    e. click OK and the output.

    Your Windows PC will now follow this order of priority when the detection of the available network connections.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Parameters of system tray icons keep the reset after reboot

    Hello

    My system tray icon settings are lost whenever I restart my laptop.

    I tried to reset all settings, I tried to install the experimental fix Windows6. 1 KB979155-x 64.msu nothing works.

    I also tried the following registry settings that now I have no more than two keys mentioned and I do not know if they had to be re-created after I cancelled them.

    1. Click Start , type regedit in the Search box and press ENTER.

      If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click allow .

    2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
      Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    3. In the Details pane, click the IconStreams registry entry.
    4. On the Edit menu, click delete , and then click Yes .
    5. In the Details pane, click the PastIconsStream registry entry.
    6. On the Edit menu, click delete , and then click Yes .
    7. Exit Registry Editor.
    8. Restart the Explorer.exe process. To do this, follow these steps:
      1. Press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC.
      2. On the process in the Task Manager tab, click the process explorer.exe and then double click on end process .
      3. On the file menu, click new task (run) , type Explorer and click OK .
      4. Exit Task Manager.

    The only option is either to have all the icons in the sawn system tray which takes 3\4 of my task bar or do them all hidden which is a pain in the neck because I have to open the "new taskbar" every time.

    I hope someone can help me.

    Thank you :D

  • Taskbar Windows 8 says network not identified but computer identifies TI-no internet connection

    My taskbar to the laptop says "Unidentified network, no internet access", but when I click it, it opens the list of network connections and shows that I am connected to my network wireless home (he identified) and there is no notice of limited access. This seems very contradictory. I had no problems until last night when my roommate connected his Mac via the wireless to access Netflix and press the factory reset button on the wireless router. She got in line without problem, but now I can't. I'm done with my iPhone to connect with the wireless and my laptop off the phone running hotspot. I would like to move directly from the wireless, without going through my iPhone.  I can't access Internet and instead of my computer on my network to laptop, I renamed as a media player and not only as my old computer in my office (it is his link showing?). When I try to go online the page shows not connected to the internet, and I click on troubleshooting. It says restart the router/modem but I did that five times and nothing changes. I restart my laptop too. It's been hours now and I "restored" my laptop to an earlier point. She can get online and the wireless router, the lights are all green as well as do? Am very illiterate when it comes to this computer stuff and most of the answers I've seen online that I have no idea what they are talking about - IE. Change of IP address, system configuration, etc., so be very, very aware and make your answers as if you're talking to a fool. (You're) And if you could give me instructions step by step - as the right or left click here or I would be SO grateful. In desperation right now. Thank you.
