Windows 10: My laptop lost the wifi icon

I get this error quite often it takes away almost everything related to wifi Asus Tuf F15 506hc i7-11800H RTX 3050 4GBI checked the driver but it disappeared, the adapter too but in the hardware it is still there

Windows 10 wifi not turning on Acer Aspire laptop

In order to get the list of available wireless networks, you have to:

1. Switch on Connect to suggested open hotspots (see the screenshot in question);
   
2. Click on Wifi icon in the right corner. Now you have your networks back.
   

After that the parameter from Step 1 can be turned off, networks will be listed normally after restarting Wifi.

P.S. I feel rather stupid at the moment. I thought that open hotspots are passwordless hotspots and so are presumably not very safe. So of course I've turned that off during installation.
Really hard to see any logic in this case.

Lost WiFi icon

I have lost my wifi icon from the taskbar after a recent Windows 10 update. I looked for it on the hidden icons but it isn't there either. How do I get it back? In simple language please as I am an 82-year-old technophobe. Thanks in anticipation.
