The icons for network connections and on Windows if no Internet the search can indeed stop.
There's no machine detail here so start by telling more as well as turning your laptop's WiFi off then back on.
Can anyone help me??
The internet access icon on the windows taskbar on my laptop has suddenly stopped working. I can no longer select which internet i would like to use when i use my laptop at work or home. I used to be able to see the various connections available to me but now that icon no longer works.
Also my windows search bar is no longer responding.
Anyone know why this could be and if so, what can I do about rectifying it??
