Very odd..

This happen some time ago, and I want it back:

I want this all back, it is a blank screen... Any options people?

I'm inclined to believe it was a corrupted update executable file...

Reinstall Windows? Just a guess, otherwise no idea as I've not used that OS since Vista.👎

I'm full Linux here and I'm taking a SWAG but my first impression is a corrupt install

Got it back from the p.c. shop a bit ago, I will blame them though, to be on the safest side of the river.

Found a trigger to see my wifi again, it is a bit hard though:

FWIW

Today

My network and sharing center is gone from windows ten.

If the Network and Sharing Center has vanished from your Windows 10 system, here are a few ways to bring it back or access its functionality:

Option 1: Use Control Panel Directly​

1. Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.
2. Type control and press Enter to open the Control Panel.
3. In the Control Panel, set View by: Large icons (top right).
4. Look for Network and Sharing Center — it should appear there.

If it’s missing even from the Control Panel, continue below.

Option 2: Access via Run Command​

1. Press Windows + R.
2. Type this command and press Enter:
   
   Code
   
   control.exe /name Microsoft.NetworkAndSharingCenter<br>

This should directly open the Network and Sharing Center.

Option 3: Restore via System Settings​

Sometimes updates or system tweaks hide legacy panels. Try this:

1. Open Settings → Network & Internet.
2. Scroll down and click Network and Sharing Center under Advanced network settings (if available).
3. If not visible, click Status → Change adapter options — this opens the old-style Network Connections window.

I had a quite strange internet related problem this morning. I found that my chrome browser wouldn't connect to AF with the site not found message. I naturally guessed the site was down again. But then I found that most all of my bookmarked sites were also not accessible. As a matter of fact, the only sites I could access were fb, YT, and Amazon. Everything else would fail. Some sites left a not found err and others left a err_NETWORK_CHANGED err. I tried my Firefox browser and had the same results. I did a speed test and disabled my ad blocker. I checked to see if there were any firewall changes locally. I flushed my cache. I rebooted the router. I did all the things that a dumbass carpenter knows to do without a fix. For the life of me, I still don't know why I could access the three mega sites and nothing else. I tried AF one last time and I immediately logged on. I could log onto all sites. WTF??????
I hope that the problem is solved but I fear it isn't. I did nothing that solved the problem before it was solved. If I'm away from AF for a given length of time, I'm down and out again without a clue.
