Why does my system tray Wi-Fi icon keep flashing from white to grey in Windows 10?
Why does the Wi-Fi icon in my system tray icons area go from white (as it is normally) to grey (completely grey, no asterisk or anything next to it, just greyed out) again and again? It's been happening for a few weeks, and hasn't happened before. My Wi-Fi connection is fine, but has been a bit slow at times. Could someone please tell me what it means; I can't find any answers on the internet or Microsoft's website.
Thanks :D

"Here's what you can try: open Device Manager, locate your WiFi card in the Network section, right-click on it, and choose "Uninstall this device". If prompted to delete the driver as well, check that box, and confirm your choice, then restart your PC. Once it has restarted, go back to Device Manager, right-click on the WiFi card line, and choose to enable it again. Windows will reinstall the driver, and you should be able to connect to your home network. Then we'll see if the problem persists." – Didier
