United Kingdom Change | All Microsoft Sites Help and Support Support Home Solution Centers Advanced Search Downloads Buy products Article ID: 937477 - Last Review: October 30, 2009 - Revision: 2.0 After you wake a Windows Vista-based computer or a Windows 7-based computer from sleep or from hibernation, the network icon and the speaker icon in the notification area do not show the correct status View products that this article applies to. Expand all | Collapse all SYMPTOMS After you wake a Windows Vista-based computer or a Windows 7-based computer from sleep or from hibernation, you experience the following symptoms: The network icon in the notification area at the far right of the taskbar is not updated to show the connectivity status of the computer. The network icon in the notification area at the far right of the taskbar may show a red "X" mark instead of showing the correct connectivity status of the computer. If you connect a network cable to the computer or if you connect to a wireless network, the network icon in the notification area incorrectly shows the connectivity status as disconnected. If you move the pointer over the network icon in the notification area, the Currently connected to ScreenTip does not appear as expected. If you click the network icon in the notification area, the Currently connected to ScreenTip does not appear as expected. Note In this case, the expected ScreenTip should contain a Connect to a network link and a Network and Sharing Center link. The speaker icon in the notification area at the far right of the taskbar may show a red "X" mark instead of showing the correct speaker status. You experience these symptoms even though you can successfully connect both to wired networks and to wireless networks and the speakers are functioning correctly. Back to the top CAUSE This issue occurs if the computer enters sleep or hibernation before it finishes notifying the part of the system that controls the network-icon functionality. Back to the top WORKAROUND To work around this issue, use one of the following procedures: Restart the computer. Use the Network and Sharing Center to view the connectivity status of the computer. To open the Network and Sharing Center, click Start, type Network and Sharing Center in the Start Search box, and then click Network and Sharing Center in the Programs list. End the Explorer.exe process, and then restart this process. To do this, follow these steps: Open Task Manager. To do this, press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC. Click the Processes tab. In the list of processes, click explorer.exe, and then click End Process. When you are prompted to confirm that you want to continue, click End process. On the File menu, click New Task (Run...). In the Create New Task dialog box, type %systemroot%\explorer.exe in the Open box, and then click OK. Back to the top MORE INFORMATION This issue occurs very rarely.

i do use some icons from Tune Up Utilities program but they don't change the internet connection, i have set things to default but still the red cross is there ( i have changed the wireless adapter i have a few different brands but the tp link is best it gives me a great connection i checked the settings as well) there are loads of hits on google about this problem. every thing is ok when i click on the icon it brings up what it should its just the red cross wont go away when connected i have looked at the registry keys but cant find a fault yet a system restore didn't work i back the system files up so as a last resort i will load these but not just yet.
