Hi BC32,

looking at your screenshot, is the Blue icon a wireless connection??

If so thats why the Ethernet icon has the red X on it.

the blue icon is used to turn on/off wifi and bluetooth. i've had this laptop since 2012 and i have only recently started having this problem. so i don't think that is the cause.

If you go to Control Panel, Device Manager, are there any unknown devices shown?

Hi

IF the Bluetooth/wifi is active and DESIGNATED as the primary connection then that X will allways appear on the Ethernet connection - you CANNOT have both running at the same time.
note have you got an iphone/headset/xbox type controller sync active.

You can also reset the notification option for the Ethernet to not show
