Windows 10: Disable automatic connection of a wireless network not in range

I am trying to connect to a network, but it is not shown in the list of available networks. It is in fact available, but it is not shown. When I launch the troubleshooter, it insists on connecting me to a network that I previously had selected as "connect automatically", but that is not currently available - because it is 100 miles away. How can I delete that automatic connection?

Windows 10: Disable automatic connection of a wireless network

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

If you have not tried this then you may follow these steps to test if that helps:

• 
  Open "Network and Sharing Center".
  
• 
  On the left pane, click on the option "Manage wireless networks”.
  
• 
  Look for those networks where the Security is "Unsecured." Right-click on an unsecured network, then click on "Properties”.
  
• 
  Make sure that the box next to "Connect automatically when this network is in range," is not checked. Then click on "OK" to save your settings. Repeat the steps to uncheck the box for any other unsecured networks on the list.
  

Keep us informed to help you further.

This isn't helpful.

This is clearly a software issue and can't be rectified by playing with wireless settings. Please can Microsoft create a patch? I find that often it stops me logging in as the computer is confused on the networks it is connected to.

I have followed all the suggested steps and it makes no difference as I am not actually connected to the networks that the computer is suggesting I connect automatically to.
