How to fix a red X or red cross on WiFi icon in Windows 10? Many users complained that when turning on the PC, they were showing a “Red X”or a star over the network connection icon as if it was disconnected. Some also have the red X WiFi icon or icon with a star turning into a rectangular image of a monitor after installing some programs on the device. This issue makes the Mircosoft Edge not available, or result in the Google Chrome browser not working.
Be patient. Diagnosing a network can be one of the most frustrating chores in the tech world. If the simple steps below don’t work, we have a more detailed Wi-Fi troubleshooting guide, or you can check out some helpful Wi-Fi utilities.
When your PC (or other device) can’t access your Wi-Fi network, you have to find out where the problem is—your laptop or your router. So the first thing you need to do is test the network without the laptop. Try another computer—or any device that uses Wi-Fi, such as a smartphone or tablet. If that other PC or device can access your Wi-Fi, the problem is with your laptop.
If the problem is with the PC
Once you’ve established that the problem is with the computer, make sure that the laptop’s Wi-Fi is turned on. There’s probably a little hardware switch somewhere. Find it, and switch it. Windows will tell you if you turned it off or on. If you turned it off, try turning it back on.
If that doesn’t fix the problem, reboot.
That didn’t fix it, either? Okay, time to make sure you’re connecting to the right network and using the right password. Click the Wi-Fi icon in the notification area for a list of available networks. Yours should be there, and it should say “Connected,” but it probably won’t.
Attempt to connect to the network, and make sure you have the right password. When typing the password, be careful about letters and numbers that look alike. It’s easy to mistake the number 1 with a lowercase L or an uppercase I . And an uppercase O can be mistaken for the number 0.
A few other things you might try:
Look at the bars next to the network’s name to make sure you have a strong signal from the router. If you don’t, try moving to a room near the router.
Use Windows’ diagnostics. Right-click the network icon in notification area and select Troubleshoot problems. Then go through the wizard.
Turn off your firewall—temporarily, of course—and try again. If it works, figure out what’s wrong with your firewall settings.
