hi there:

I have been facing an issue and that is: the network icon is missing in Windows 11. A workaround (temporary) is doing this: reg delete HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\IrisService /f && shutdown -r -t 0

Is there a permanent fix for it? There is no network icon in the settings.

    Another Insider has the same issue.

    You don't have a Network icon here:

    Or in the right click Start or in Settings?
