Hi Sebastian,

You’ve done a ton already, but I found another possible fix to look at.

Click on start, and type “services.msc” - make sure all of the following services are set to auto and have been started. Reboot, and see if the red x is gone.

Network Connections

Network List Service

Network Location Awareness

Network Store Interface Service

WLAN AutoConfig (if there)

If no dice, we’ll keep trying other things to fix.

PS - What’s the make and model of this computer? HP by any chance?

Let me know!

Red cross on wifi and sound icons.

Yesterday when I turned on my laptop, I noticed instead of the usually wifi icon, it was now an ethernet icon even though I haven't changed anything with my laptop in regard to this and have no idea why it is now an ethernet icon. The icon has a red cross
on it, and also my sound icon has the cross to. I have restarted my computer and tried disabling the ethernet, but it just won't go. I can fix the sound but it always comes back to the red cross. The internet also keeps disconnecting and I have to restart
my laptop to get it working again. I have no idea why this has happened and don't really want to restore or reset if I don't have to! Can anyone help? I am using Windows 10 by the way, but updated a fair few weeks before this occurred.
