In the lower right hand task bar there is an icon that shows I am logged into the internet. Two small computer monitors and a circular blue light.
The other day I was offered 1 update. After the update the network connection icon was gone. I right clicked on the task bar area and went to properties. In there are 4 system icons. One is clock, then volume, then network, then power. Power is the only
one that is not in bold text and thus does not allow the box to be checked.
The update was not for Windows it was an update for MSE. It said the update was "needed"
After the update, the check mark for the network icon, was removed and the box was not bold text and could not be checked.
So, with the MSE update no network icon. I had to do a system restore to remove that MSE update. That gave me the network icon again.
I asked the question on another forum and they said it is remotely possible that Microsoft does not know that the MSE update causes this disabling of the network icon in the taskbar properties for Vista.
The update was this one: KB 2804527 (4.2.223.1)
What is the fix for this?
Currently, I'm without the update to MSE because I need the network icon.
Thanks.
