How to add internet icon on top panel năm 2024

Perhaps you are wondering what happened to the network connection symbol in your notification tray. You often have an internet service in this situation, but you're unable to see the ethernet icon, Wi-Fi signal bar, or connection status symbol. Other times, the network and sharing centre symbol is absent, and you are unable to access the internet.

The network service may not be operating, the entire network status symbol may be missing, or a problem with Windows Explorer may be to blame. Most of the time, activating the vanished icon in the notification panel settings will restore it. Try the other ways described in this tutorial if it doesn't work for you.

For Windows 8/8.1/10

Method 1

Step 1: Select Settings with a right-click on the taskbar.

Step 2: Choose "Turn system icons on or off" from the Notification area section by scrolling down.

Step 3: Search for Network and turn the switch thereon.

Method 2

Step 1: Using the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + Shift + Esc or by right-clicking the taskbar and choosing "Task Manager," you may start the Windows Task Manager.

Step 2: Find "Explorer" under the "Processes or Details" tab.

Step 3: Select Restart from the shortcut menu by selecting Windows Explorer or explorer.exe. Choose End Process in Windows 7.

Step 4: To start a new task, select File > New Task.

Step 5: Enter after typing explorer.exe into the field.

Method 3

Step 1: Select Display Properties by right-clicking on a blank area on your desktop.

Step 2: You may change the Color Quality setting from 32 to 16 bit depending on how your Display settings are set up.

Step 3: Restart your computer, then click Apply to turn it back to 32-bit.

Method 4

Only use this step if you have already tried the other options or are familiar with how the Windows registry works.

Step 1: To launch the registry editor, press Windows + R, type "regedit," and then press Enter.

Step 2: Go to the below-mentioned registry key.

Step 3: Find the Config entry within this key and select "Delete" from the context menu. If you missed this entry, don't worry; nothing's wrong.

Step 4: Switch off your computer. Upon restarting, the configuration entry will immediately be rebuilt.

This approach is for those whose settings have been manually or through a third-party software altered. If you don't see Config, ignore it.

Method 5

As a final attempt, if none of the solutions mentioned above are successful, we may try removing certain registry keys and forcing Explorer.exe to restart from the command line.

Step 1: When the dialogue box appears, click Windows + R, type "cmd," right-click on the entry, and choose "Run as administrator."

Step 2: now carry out each of the next instructions individually.

Step 3: Check to see whether the problem is fixed by attempting to access the network icon now.

For Windows Vista and 7

Method 1

Step 1: Select Properties from the pop-up menu by right-clicking the taskbar.

Step 2: Click the Customize button in the Taskbar tab's Notification area section of the Taskbar and Start menu Properties panel to change the appearance of the notification area.

Step 3: The Network item may be found under Icons. Verify that the Show icon and alerts are chosen in the drop-down option under Behaviors towards the right of that entry.

Step 4: Select the Turn system icons off or on the option located at the bottom of the window.

Step 5: In the drop-down option on the right, choose On for the Network entry within System Icons.

Step 6: To save the settings and close the windows, click the OK button on every open window.

For Windows XP and Earlier

Method 1

Step 1: In the context menu, choose Properties after right-clicking the Network Neighborhood or My Network Places icon on the desktop. The Network Connections window in the Control Panel should be opened if this symbol is missing.

Step 2: Right-click the network you wish to display the network icon for in the Network connections box and choose Properties. Take "Local Area Connection" as an example, and choose Properties from the context menu.

Step 3: Lastly, at the bottom of the settings window, tick the boxes next to the Show icon on the taskbar when connected and the Display icon in the notification area when connected.

Windows 11 includes many interesting tools, but if you’re like many people, more and more of your digital life is happening in your web browser and nowhere else. That being the case, you’ll want to keep your most important websites close at hand. The easiest way to access them in Windows 11 is the Start menu and the taskbar, treating them more or less like programs in and of themselves.

Although easy overall, getting a website from your browser to your taskbar is slightly different depending on which browser you’re using.

Google Chrome

Pinning your favorite website to your Windows 11 taskbar only takes a few steps with Google Chrome. Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Open the Google Chrome browser and then go to your desired website.

Step 2: Select the Three dots icon in the top right corner. From the menu that pops up, choose More tools.

Step 3: Select Create shortcut. In the Create shortcut? dialog box, tick the box next to Open as window and then select Create.

And that's it! The shortcut for your desired website should automatically appear on your taskbar and on your desktop.

Firefox

Unfortunately, Firefox doesn’t have an integrated way to pin shortcuts to the taskbar as Chrome does. However, there is a workaround.

But before we get into how to perform the workaround, there are few things you should know:

• The Firefox browser shortcut can't already have been pinned to your taskbar before you attempt to use the workaround method. The method won't work otherwise. If you have Firefox pinned to your taskbar, unpin it now.
• Don't have any Firefox browser windows open before you use this method.
• You'll need to name your new website shortcut manually. This method won't yield a result with a shortcut that is automatically named after the website you chose to pin.

Here's how to pin a website shortcut with Firefox on Windows 11:

Step 1: Use the Search bar on the Windows 11 taskbar to search for Firefox. Once Firefox appears in the search results, right click on it.

Step 2: Then select Open file location. A Windows Explorer window will appear showing you the Firefox app's location. In this window, right-click on Firefox.

In the menu that appears, choose Show more options. Then select Create shortcut > Yes.

Step 3: A new Firefox shortcut will appear on your desktop. Right-click on this icon and then choose Properties.

Step 4: On the Firefox properties screen, choose the General tab and rename the shortcut in the text box at the top of this tab.

Then select the Shortcut tab, and in the Target section, navigate to the end of the listed file location and press the Spacebar once, and then type in the URL for your favorite website. (It will look like this: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" https://www.digitaltrends.com/)

Then select OK.

Step 5: The edited shortcut should appear on your desktop. Right-click on this shortcut then select Show more options > Pin to taskbar.

Microsoft Edge

You can also pin websites to your Windows 11 taskbar with Microsoft Edge. Here's how you can set that up:

Step 1: Open one of your favorite websites in Microsoft Edge.

Step 2: Select the Three dot menu icon in the top right corner of your screen.

Step 3: From the menu that appears, select More tools.

Step 4: Then select Pin to taskbar.

A shortcut for that website will then automatically appear on your Windows 11 taskbar.

It’s as simple as that. You have just learned how to pin a website to your taskbar so you can find it instantly, and we’ve given you an overview of our favorite Internet browsers. We have dedicated various articles to help you understand the ins and outs of Internet navigation, including our picks for best browsers and safety precautions to take to stay anonymous online.
