Why does the connect to network options sometimes not show?

Rezy143 asks:

Sometimes, when I try to click the WiFi icon, the connect to the network does not show up. When this happens, the icon shows that I have a connection. When I go back to the internet, the connection is still down and then I would have to restart my computer. The internet comes back when I restart the computer, but it is annoying having to restart the computer when I lose internet connection.

Please update your driver to the latest package. I had a similar problem, but it wasn’t a wifi problem. I think it was a security update by Windows that gotten installed and started messing with my system. I believe it’s the (KB951748) update.

Go into Windows Update> View update history, and see if you can find this in the list, if its there uninstall it and try.

Otherwise if you have system restore working. Restore it to a time when your system was last running fine.

Let us know how it goes :)
