    System Tray Problems in Windows 10 Home v. 2004


    I am using Windows 10 Home, 64-bit, with a laptop connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi. I recently upgraded to the 2004 version.

    I just noticed that if I click on the Wi-Fi or Clock icons (both located in the System Tray), nothing happens.

    Typically, clicking on the Wi-Fi icon would show the available Wi-Fi networks and some tiles called Wi-Fi, Airplane Mode, and Mobile Hotspot.

    And normally clicking on the clock would bring up the calendar.

    Plese note: The laptop is able to connect to all the registered Wi-Fi networks. I don’t have a problem connecting to the Internet so long as one of the registered Wi-Fi networks is available. But the problem would be if I need to connect to a new Wi-Fi network.

    All the other icons in the System Tray seem to work ok.

    Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

    Right click on the icons (individually) and see if "troubleshoot" comes up.
