Windows 10: Can’t connect to Wi-Fi.

I just got my new PC repaired, and when I got it, I went to connect the internet and only 2 Network devices showed up;”Hidden Network” and my home network(Both were in a very low signal). I couldn’t connect at all, and when it let me type the password to my router, it just said “Can’t connect to this network”. I checked known devices, and it had a bunch of other devices I connected. I went on te airplane mode tab, and below Bluetooth it had something called “Wi-Fi 2”. It says its a realtek device from the adapter’s window, and I’ve already tried uninstalling any ghost devices (there was only one but of a controller) and I tried uninstalling “Wi-Fi 2” and the realtek device and they both reinstalled, I’ve tried uninstalling all the network adapters and restarted many times, and nothing is working. Is there any fix to this?

Windows 10 stop automatically connecting to random new wi-fi networks


Hi,

I have searched a lot, but all the tutorials I found only explained how to not connect automatically to a known wi-fi network or how to disable wi-fi sense... but this is not what I am looking for...

PROBLEM:

• When my laptop (Windows 10 Pro X64) is not connected to a network and the wireless adapter is on, it will automatically connect to any random new unsecured wi-fi network... The only way I have now to avoid this is to disable my wi-fi adapter.

UNUSEFUL TUTORIALS I FOUND ON THE INTERNET:

• How to manually uncheck the option for a particular wi-fi network not to connect automatically in Network Properties. This is not what I am looking for. This would suggest that everytime I power my computer. I would have to manually go through all the available wi-fi networks and unclick them all...
• How to disable Wi-Fi Sense. This is not useful, because I don't even have a Wi-Fi sense option in my computer where the tutorials say it should be.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:

• I am looking for an option to tell my computer to stop connecting randomly to unknown wi-fi networks like an hyperactive, reckless idiot.

PERSONAL COMMENT:

• Honestly, why would any respectable company think that it could be somewhat wise or secure to do this... Anyone's computer could just randomly connect to any hacker's wi-fi network without the user even knowing it...

Any solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
