Over the years Google Chrome has tested a number of different icons to the left of the URL in your browser to determine how secure a site is in order to secure your Chrome browsing. Not all icons have survived the test of time like the green padlock, or the white page icon, but keep an eye on the ones in use to make sure you're browsing the internet safely.
The first icon which suggests security is the Grey padlock icon that you'll see to the left of the URL of this post. When a website has a security certificate from its domain host and Google trusts that certificate it will display this grey padlock.
The padlock icon suggests that on this specific site all your passwords or credit card information will be stored privately and securely.
Clicking on this icon will give you a snapshot of the validity of the certificate, the number of cookies in use, and the site settings. Sites that are not fully secure and still use HTTP are shown up by the Grey circle with an exclamation point inside.
This means that the site is not using a private connection as it does not have a security certificate. But this icon is only a warning that the information you send through the site could be seen or modified by another person.
The last icon you'll notice next to the URL is a Triangle with an exclamation point inside. It will even say "Not Secure" or "Dangerous" next to the triangle. You should avoid browsing these sites altogether if you notice this icon. It can be a site with an expired security certificate or malicious code. Someone will definitely be able to see the private information you send through this site. Dangerous sites will have a full-page warning before letting you enter because it has been flagged as unsafe by Google's Safe Browsing.
There are few elements more annoying when browsing the internet than popups offering you various "deals" and "offers" while you are browsing. I have the same question. HP Support Agent.

Message 5 of 8. You were right the culprit was a Group Policy. After you mentioned it, I started scouring through our GPO settings and found the following:. This setting was Enabled. According to your link if the NCSI is turned off it will cause the yellow warning sign to show on the network icon in the system tray.
After I disabled that setting and updated the GPO, the warning signed disappeared. It also links to some MS articles. To me most likely caused by some Group Policy settings affecting Windows, or the Windows Firewall being on the Domain profile when connected to the domain.
Have you tried turning the firewall off as a test? Thanks for your reply. I read the article that you linked and I understand now how the network check works and what its purpose is. The Windows Firewall is disabled on the domain network profile no the Windows 10 laptops. That is one of the first things I tried in my troubleshooting efforts but the yellow warning sign still shows up.
