Why has is my wifi stuck on "Searching for Wi-Fi networks..."?

I have successfully accessed my wifi connection from this Android phone in the past. Till yesterday! Starting today, I can't a view a list of available wifi networks on my wifi pane. It's just stuck at "Searching for Wi-Fi networks...". I can not find a network.

OS: Android Kitkat.

There's an update which I have not downloaded.

Let's do it from here.

Help will be appreciated. :)

The first step, as it so often is, is to try a Power Off & Restart.

If power cycling doesn't work. Reset your network settings, or throw the phone in and out of airplane mode. Then retry your wifi!
