Network Icon with white circle

Hey guys,

So I locked my PC today and noticed that on the lock screen the network icon had a small white circle on the lower right hand side of it. Basically it was exactly where the red x shows up if you aren’t connected.

I hovered my mouse over it but nothing showed up and when I went to log in the circle disappeared and the normal network icon was showing.

Does anyone know what this white circle means? I can’t find anything online about it.

I know the wifi symbol can show a white circle to the upper right but everything addressing it online yields any actual results as to what it means.

Maybe it indicates an app is using your location.

Maybe but the circle isn’t the same. It’s not next to the network icon it’s part of the icon. I don’t know why the network icon would specify an app using my location though.

Just irrtiates me that every symbol for network and WiFi has an explanation and this one doesn’t and seems to be a mystery.

Install latest version of network card driver see it resolves the issue.

It’s not an on going issue. This is the first time I’ve ever seen it. I just would like to know what it means.

Sorry i have no idea what that white circle means.

I appreciate the help. If anyone does know please comment because I’ve been searching forever and can’t find a thing.
