Windows Shows a Globe Icon After Connecting

Published: 2026-08-22 00:07:51

If the network icon in the Windows system tray turns into a globe after connecting to OrangeGo, it is usually related to the network adapter driver or network-enhancement services.

  • Press Win+R, type services.msc and press Enter to open Services;
  • Find network-enhancement services such as Killer and SmartByte, and double-click them;
  • Stop the service and set Startup type to Disabled, then click Apply;
  • Restart your computer and reconnect.

See the related guides in this Help Center for detailed settings for other network-enhancement services.
