Windows 10: wifi is not showing right downcorner, and I am connected only by wire?

Hei,erään päivityksen jälkeen en ole saanut acer konettani enää liitettyä wifi/vlan kautta, ja nytkin olen tämän johdon varassa, miten saan tämän wifin takaisin valikkoihin tuonne oikealle alareunaan, kuten tämä ennen siellä oli. Ja tietysti olisi hyvä päästä yhteyteen ilman tätä johtosekamelskaa, eikö?

Wired PC shows in list of WiFi access points

I'm on the fall creators update on a laptop. The laptop is connected to my router via WiFi. I also have one wired PC on the network. I just noticed that the wired PC shows up at the top of the list of networks (complete with a "connect" button) when I
single left click on the WiFi icon in the system tray to show a list of WiFi access points. This is new behavior (with the FCU?) and I can't for the life of me find any information anywhere regarding why the wired PC shows up. If I click "connect", the process
simply stalls until I click "cancel". Is this supposed to be some way to enable connection sharing? Or an RDP connection?

Anyone?

Wired PC shows in list of WiFi access points

I don't think that explains this particular issue. The wired PC that shows up in the laptop's list of WiFi APs is connected to the router via ethernet and does not have a WiFi card. So it can't (or at least shouldn't) advertise an available connection.

The icon next to the wired PC name is also new and unfamiliar.... looks like 3/4 of a simple celtic knot with a "carat" where the fourth loop would be.

I have tried searching for a variety of keywords like "new icon in WiFi list" and "wired PC in list of WiFi connections" and come up virtually empty. I'm sure it is something added in the FCU but I'll be danged if I can figure out what it actually is.
