  1. Computer forgets my Wi-Fi sometimes


    Sometimes, I log onto my computer and a little globe icon appears on the lock screen instead of the Wi-Fi symbol. I try to connect to my Wi-Fi and it says "Cannot connect to this network". The weird thing is that when I restart the computer, the Wi-Fi icon is back and I can go online. I am on a Windows 10 Desktop if that helps with Intel Core i5.

    :)

    Unable to 'Forget' Wi-Fi connections

    Unable to 'Forget Wi-Fi' connections.

    Noticed several days ago my modem/wireless router was not disconnecting on computer shutdown.

    Instead, it was switching from Gibabit Ethernet to Fast Internet.

    Opened Settings to Wi-Fi connections, but could not find 'Forget' button to take off numerous unknown Wi-Fi connnections.

    The problem is "Manage Wi-Fi Settings" does not show a "Manage Known Networks" link. So no list of networks comes up nor does any "Forget" button.

    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!
