None of these solutions work for me, as the entire wireless protocol is missing. Now Windows does not detect any wireless devices, which means neither does Microsoft, so I cannot verify my identity on this machine, it detects that I do not appear to be connected to the network.
Yet of course I AM, or I couldn’t be attempting to verify! It automatically connects to available wireless network, posts the wired network icon, and gives me no access to available networks In settings, there is no wireless category.
Oddly, when I upgraded originally to Windows 10, wireless worked as usual, but then I did a clean install and haven’t seen it since. I have re-installed a couple of times.

Hi, I recently installed Windows 7 X86 RC, the installation went well and I have no worries. I am wirelessly connected to my Secure Home Network and have been surfing the internet quite happily.
However the network status indicator in the system tray is greyed out with a red 'X' over it instead of the globe.???? As if I am not connected?
Its not really an issue as I have access to the web and online stuff, I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across this and if they have managed to fix it???? Alternatively if there is anybody out there who knows what the issue is? As I said, its not really a problem I would just like 'all the pretty lights to come on'. Yea, it says the name of my network and internet access. The connection works fine, just shows the wrong icon. As of a couple days ago after a reboot to finish some updates the icon has fixed itself, no longer has the red X over it. That was a minor issue, just wish my ATI tuner driver would quit giving a BSOD right in the middle of a recording.
It sucks watching a show only to have it end right when the plot is building.:- I even loaded a new updated beta driver that was offered and still does the same thing. I just installed the RC on a second desktop, have to move the tuner to that machine and see if it does any better. I don't believe what The Digital Jedi said is correct. What The Digital Jedi is talking about I think is the Network Connections Applet (ncpa.cpl) and not a disconnected network connection. I don't see why having a disconnected network connection should reflect a red X in the Network Status System Tray. A lot of people have both Wired and Wireless enabled at any given time but yet not using both.
Also disabling any connections not in use does not effect the red X for the Network Status System Tray Icon. Yea, it says the name of my network and internet access. The connection works fine, just shows the wrong icon.

The red X appears intermittently, with no real pattern or reason as to when it will show up. I did find what I believe is causing the icon to show the network connection as disabled yet the pop up text states 'Internet Access'.
I was in the Local Area Connection status window to make a change and I noticed under Connection it shows and. Now in the Properties tab I have IPv6 unchecked since I don't need it and I just adds alot of extra info to Route Print commands and such. I checked the box again to see if that changed anything but since I don't use IPv6 on my network it still says 'No network access'. I will leave it that way for a while and see if there is any change in the icon, but as of this posting I still have the red X. As a note I am only using a wired connection and have no wireless hardware on any of my systems. I have a static IP configuration on my IPV4 network and the same problem is occuring to me.
When I first installed the Windows 7 RC, the indicator icon was functioning normally, however now it says that I'm not connected to any networks, though I certainly am. It's not a big hassle for me, except that I cannot connect to my VPN because Windows says I need an active connection.
Thats interesting because mine has never effected connecting to my office VPN. Seems to be a complete status icon issue and nothing more, if I hover over the icon it does say connected to internet.

As I said, its not really a problem I would just like 'all the pretty lights to come on'. JD hi I have same problem but my clour is YELLOW. Everything 's working good and I connected via wireless but desktop network icon is yellow!! Static addressing could be the problem as that is what I use due to the size of my network and I prefer to always know the IP of a specific computer. I have moved up to the release version of Windows 7 and I hate to say it but the red X is still there, and my network still is working fine. The icon is functionally useless as compared to the icon in XP and earlier.
It does not show send and recieve activity, or the amount of data transfered. You cannot click on it to bring up the status window to quickly change properties etc. That one lacking feature is what I really miss, now you must go thru the Network and Sharing Center to get to the link for the status of the connection.
I don't bother showing it in the tray anymore, saves room for other icons. I had the same problem. To fix it, I uninstalled the drivers for the LAN and Wireless adapters, rebooted the computer don't know if I needed to reboot in Windows 7 but it can't hurt. then reinstalled the drivers.
If you need to, you should download the driver installers off the internet before uninstalling the drivers, obviously. After that the icons worked great! In my case I think the registry got corrupt when I installed Orical Virtual Box, and Virtual Box installed a virtual network adapter, so, reinstalling the drivers fixed the registry. Hope I was helpful. Hello All, I faced same problem last week am using (win7 ulitmate x86 ) i recently installed VM-ware workstation and my tray connection shows am disconnected while am not (am using wired network). Since VM installs 2 other vriual network cards i check it out and fixd the problem for me, I did the following: 1. Disable my main network card.
2. I waited tell my network tray shows the yellow tringle. 3. Disable the 2 vriual network cards created by VM (The blue circle starts to spin looking for a network). Waited tell it show me am diconnected. Enable my main network card (that solve my problem) Tray icon back to normal and shows am connected.
I hope thats help some of you guys:). I tried one thing in here and that was the correct answer. For most of you, things work, just the icon shows wrong.
I am the IT for Lighting Science and this is my command machine. Well this is the ONLY one that it does this on. So I went into the adapter settings and unchecked IPv6 as I don't use it.
Most people and places do not. Why would they? Anyway, as soon as I did that the icon showed fine. No need to disconnect, reinstall, reload, format, or anything. If you are like most people and do no use IPv6, uncheck it in your net adapters.
Problem solved.
