Hi. I am working in windows 7. The problem i'm facing is that my network connection icon in system tray has a yellow triangle on it. Normally it means that I'm connected with a network but not with internet but instead my internet is also working. I want to remove this yellow triangle even if my internet is working. Please assist me.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the reply. You may uninstall and reinstall the network driver and check if the issue persists. Follow these steps:

    a.       Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager.‌ If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    b.      In Device Manager, Select Network Adaptor.

    c.       Right click and choose uninstall.

    d.      Restart your computer and Windows 7 will reinstall Network Adapter automatically.
