    I tried all the things up to this point in the messages (and beyond, using other sites/videos). Nothing worked until and did a shutdown instead of a restart, but I don't know which of those things worked in conjunction with the shutdown.

    I am also having the same problem with my ASUS laptop that's running on Windows 11 very 22H2, I have tried restarting the laptop, resetting the network and shutting down the computer before opening it qgain, yet the tile for the internet will not reappear.

    For me, the solution was simply to *shut down* instead of restart. I don't know which of these changes did the trick because I tried every one I found both here and elsewhere over a period of many hours. I'd restart after every attempt. On a whim I tried shutting down, waiting a few minutes, then starting up again. Magic, problem solved! I'm using an HP Pavilion x360 Convertible 15-er1xxx.
