    Disable "Connect to networks shared by my contacts"


    Hi everyone,
    Settings > Network & Internet > Manage Wi-Fi Settings

    Here on Microsoft help page, there's a tutorial on how to "turn off Connect to suggested open hotspots and Connect to networks shared by my contacts"

    Configure telemetry and other settings in your organization (Windows)

    I used the exact code mentioned there:

    REM Disable Wifi Sense
    REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WcmSvc\wifinetworkmanager\config" /V "AutoConnectAllowedOEM" /T REG_DWORD /D "0" /F

    But the above code only turn off "Connect to suggested open hotspots" and not "Connect to networks shared by my contacts".
    How can I turn off "Connect to networks shared by my contacts" via registry?
    Help please *Smile

    :)

    How the heck do I FULLY disable Wi-Fi Sense?

    Nevermind. I finally figured out why I wasn't seeing the "don't share this" box when connecting to my own network. If you turn off "connect to networks shared by my contacts", it also apparently disables sharing your own network. So there is a "turn
    off all aspects of Wi-Fi Sense" button. It's just not labeled that.

    unable to connect. Inavalid WPA Pre-Shared Key "

    Try to restart your Wi-Fi access point. If that does not help, changed the keyboard layout while doing the re-formating.
