What language is your version of windows. It sounds like its not getting the signal from netsh which could be an incorrect search word (Settings --> Set netsh search words)

If you go to the command prompt and enter "netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid" do you see a signal there?

ah! yes.. i pressed "Guess Netsh Searchwords" under "settings - searchwords", then the software automatically changed all values from english to my language and now it works.
