So i turned on my computer today and was greeted by a big red X.The troubleshooter said "LOL NO ETHERNET CABLE", which isn't true as both the router and modem had a green light on them. I used the device manager to disable and enable the network adapter and it gave me a code 10.I then uninstall the network adapter in the device manager and clicked the "Scan for hardware changes" button. After that my internet worked but there's still a X on the icon.
This is what happened after a restart.
As you can see windows says there's no internet but it's working perfectly.
Do you have any other network connections configured? Any other Ethernet cables attached? I'm curious... I've never seen that before.

Hmm. I bet they're related. Something isn't right with the connection, and the network icon is stuck that way. I would bet the icon will revert to normal after your network regains stability; it's probably network issues. It may also be a bad network cable. Have you examined it? If it's damaged it may give you what Microsoft likes to call "unexpected results" :roflmao:

Disconnecting the power cable and waiting like a min before reconnecting will usually solve issues like this. It's static electricity and it disrupts what the components are reporting.
gotta love them Winduhs.
