Fixed: Network Icon Disappeared From Taskbar in Windows 10

Since computer users often configure wireless settings in different scenarios, putting the Network icon in taskbar is a default setting in Windows 10.

It annoys some users when they find the icon is missing from the taskbar. If you are one of them, Here are two easy ways to cope with the problem.

Solution 1: Check out the hidden arrow on Taskbar

By Clicking the up arrow beside the notification area, you can see hidden icons. 

Users can move icons into/out of the hidden area by simply dragging them, making the taskbar neater. 

Solution 2: Turn on Network icon in Taskbar settings

Step 1: Right-click on the Taskbar and choose ‘Taskbar settings’. 

Step 2: Scroll the right page to the ‘Notification area’. 

Step 3: Click on Turn system icons on or off. 

Step 4: On this page, you can choose the icons you want to appear on the taskbar. Click on the toggle of “Network” to turn it on. 

Network Icon Failure

Another problem users could encounter is that the status of Network fails to indicate the true situation. For instance, you can browse the web but the icon shows disconnection. If that happens, the following steps should serve well.

Step 1: Right-click on the empty area of the Taskbar to open the Task Manager.

Step 2: Under the Processes tab, Right-click on the Windows Explorer, and then click on Restart. 

Then the network icon should work.
