Hello

I am on Windows 7 64bit Ultimate. The Network icon use to show in tray area fine but ever since I uninstalled something it has disappeared. In systems Icon on and off the Network Icon option is grayed out and not working. I tried Google and did various things but it comes and goes with every reboot. How do I get it back?

Please help.

Have you tried clicking Restore default icon behaviors?

When you go to the Network and Sharing Center, what comes up? It's almost as if your adapter is disabled or something, or a driver was uninstalled.

Yes it's even off after the reboot. Yes I did SFC/SCANNOW everything seems to be ok!! But no icon. Yes it's like telling the icon not to appear. However my internet is working fine and everything else is fine.

Did you create a system restore point before installing Tune-up utilities? Is it an option to do a simple system restore?

Why do people still use these Tune Up apps. They are always riddled with issues breaking your OS.

I would suggest you do a repair install.

Guys ok I got it back. What I did is I changed speed duplex on the adapter, that got the icon to appear than I went to turn system icon on and off and turned the action center icon off and than turned the network icon off and than back on again and then rebooted. And after three reboots it's still on. So it's back :)
