Red X in system tray connection icon...have reset router, restarted computer...how to correct this problem
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
All you actually had to do and I know this is a late late reply but its just in the case of letting you know how easy it really was to fix this issue what you should have done was turn the internet system icon off and back on that's what fixed this issue for me....
Try this. It worked for me.
I finally removed the security from my network and the network status now shows me as connected. The red X is gone. It seems that Windows 7 does not support WPA2-PSK. I cannot imagine that is the case. Any ideas as to why, as installed on my PC, it does not have an option for WPA2-PSK? As I said, the hardware is supported and previously worked with XP.
I had the same issue this worked for me. Press CTRL Shift Esc which opens the task manager. Click the processes tab and Image Name. Go to explorer.exe right click and click end process. At the top of the Windows task manager click file. From the sub menu click on New Task (Run...). When the window opens type explorer and click OK. This resets explorer. Not only does it remove the red x from your internet icon it also restores a missing speaker icon.
WoW! Talk about clear and concise instructions. Problem solved. Thank you.
