Windows 10: My wifi button is not showing up anymore

I know this has happened to lots of people in the past including me, but this time, I can’t seem to figure out why this is happening.My thoughts are that my WiFi Adapter is corrupted because it’s giving me a “Code 10” in device manager.It also has a warning hazard icon too.I’ve tried resetting and shutting down my computer, even doing two network resets, but it’s still not workingAny help would be much appreciated.

Search button and Wifi petitions

Hi,

I send you two ideas/petitions.

For saving battery, and if GPS doesn't consume much to do this, it would be cool:

• Register with GPS the most used wifis (office, home, other) and automatically turn off wifi when you're moving.
  
• If you don't move and you're using the phone, automatically turn on wifi, search for one and show notification about it. If no wifi found turn it automatically off again.

Don't understand why have another search buttons on screen when you have one physically on the phone!!. It's a natural action to press the search button in the app that you are using. I suggest these situations.

• If you are in tiles screen and user press search button, show Bing.
• If you are in app list and user press search button, show Search for apps.
  
• If you are using an app and it supports search button, show the app's Search page.
• If you are using an app and doesn't support search button, show Bing.
• If you are using an app and you want show Bing, hold finger on search button like Back button on multitask.

What do you think guys?

Regards,

 

"WiFi- Show Available Networks" does not list wireless routers anymore

I have the exact same problem ad Topic Starter,

When clicking 'Show available networks' in Windows Settings > Status or Wi-Fi > Show Available networks, or clicking the wifi icon in the taskbar (bottom right), the list will pop up, but not show any networks.

- I am currently connected to a network I have been connected to before (wireless)

- When I choose Windows Settings > Wi-Fi > Manage known networks it will show all the networks I have been connected to in the past.

- When I restart my computer I can click the wifi icon on the Windows login page and it will show available networks.

I have tried many different things, but to no avail. For now I can work, since my home and work network are recognized - but I won't be able to join a new network or to 'forget' a network, or manually connect to it.

Some suggested to do something with Cortana, but that is not a process that runs on my computer.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Secondary problem: the Windows search bar (when you click the Start button/windows key on the keyboard), does not work anymore. No searches for any application or file are currently possible. Highly annoying.

Thanks,

Aline

It is good to be cautious at all times. To set an expectation regarding the concern, the
network lists or saved network profiles should not be affected by the steps. But in order to be sure that everything will be safe and sound, please refer to the following links:
