Wifi icon not showing up in systems tray

Windows 10 Home Version 1703 OS Build 15063.608

Hi, my wifi icon is not showing up in my systems tray.

(It's not even in the expanded menu, and I have show network icon turned on.)

Additionally, at the network and internet section of my settings page, it says that I am not connected to the internet

Therefore I am unable to connect to a wifi network through the usual route. However, I can connect to a wifi network using the wifi icon on the bottom right in the lockscreen. My wifi is fine otherwise (I can access the internet).

How to I fix this problem?

Red,

1 Is there some particular reason why you are still on Version 1703?

2 Has this wifi icon ever operated normally?

3 About "I have show network icon turned on" - no you have not - it's greyed out inidicating that it is not on & that something is stopping that setting being made. This problem might therefore be a driver issue.
- Does Device manager show any errors for the wifi card?
- Get the latest wifi driver from the computer maker's website and install it again [even if it is the same version as that already installed].
- While you are there, check for any updated bios as well.

4 If that does not resolve matters, consider these steps -
Is the fault apparent during Safe mode as well?
Have you run SFC?
Have you run a Repair install?
