    How do I disable ALL "Connect Automatically" check boxes in Windows 10


    I want a command, power shell script, registry change, Act of Congress, Executive Order, magic spell, potion, or extraterrestrial intervention to automatically disable the "functionality" of all Windows 10 Available Networks "Connect Automatically" check boxes for networks I've never signed into. I don't want to hide those networks, just disable the check box function. Alternatively, if that's not possible, I want to disable the checkbox function completely, but still see the available networks.

    :)

    Windows 10 not automatically connecting (I've read other solutions)


    Okay, I'm having an interesting issue. A desktop that was upgraded from Windows 7 64bit to Windows 10 64bit using the normal upgrade path. I forgot to uninstall my internet security software (Comodo) so I had to fight the "no wifi after upgrade" issue. I got that resolved by following the steps others have found.

    However, now my wifi is not saving the password nor is it remembering the "Connect Automatically" settings. That is, I uncheck the box for all other available connections, (even the one I want to automatically connect to eventually), but after reboot, the box is checked again.

    Solutions I've tried.
    1. Uninstall the wifi adapter in Device Manager. Unplug device. Reboot to Windows 10 desktop. Plug adapter back into the USB slot. Setup wifi connection with automatically connect checked. Reboot and no automatic connection.
    2. In Manage WiFi Settings, remove any "known networks" from the list. The Forget button is not available in the popup list from the tasktray. Reboot. Reset. Reboot and no automatic connection.

    Are there any other tricks I may try that I've missed in my search?

    Windows 10: Disable automatic connection of a wireless network

    yes , agree with you , That answer was absolutely useless, and I think you knew it. You guys have screwed this up, haven't you? There's no fix yet is there?

    until 2017 February 21 , still no solution searched on internet, among article , all the solution & suggestion are blind replying from Microsoft and it's Community Team
    , they just playing around their pathetic solution that they tot those are the solution


    i am surely peoples said that checked box which names "automatically connect" remain checked after unchecked

    and
    Microsoft and it's Community Team reply the post with

    Follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Right click on Wi-Fi icon and select Open Network and Sharing Center menu option

    Step 2: In the Network and Sharing Center window, click the Wi-Fi connection link.

    Step 3: This should display the Wi-Fi Status windows as shown below.

    Step 4: Now click the Wireless Properties button in W-Fi Status.

    Step 5: Un mark the check box with label as Connect automatically when this network in range option available under the Wireless Network Properties window. Click Ok button to confirm and the save the changes.

    Look , first this is which we are connected in the pass so we can saw the wifi name in that list, but for those wifi that we never connected which probably neighbor wifi , which we don have the password key , they still fk remain checked ''automatically
    connect" boxes , do you see that ? did the problems sloved ? or the Microsoft and it's Community Team geniusly think the problems sloved ? how pathetic is ?

    1. Press Windows key + A to open action center and click on All Settings.

    2. Now select Network and Internet.

    3. In the left panel, select Wi-Fi.

    4. Now in the right panel, select the option Change Adapter Options.

    5. The Change Adapter Options will open the Network Connections. You will find the network connection to which your computer or tablet is connected.

    6. Double click on the wireless connection to open the Wi-Fi status. Go to Wireless Properties.

    7. Under Connection tab, find out “Connect automatically when this network is in range“. By default it is enabled. To disable it, uncheck the option and tap ok.

    Same goes to this article, useless suggestion ever i ever see

    don said i never follow any article , that so much article that Microsoft and it's Community Team never read post carefully enuf, or we could said that Microsoft and it's Community Team reply post with blindly hand

    Remote assistance box is checked automatically in Windows 10

    Hi Robert,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Please provide more information to help you better:


      • Did you uncheck the box?

      • Did you face the same issue after unchecking the box?

      • Are you facing this issue on a local account or the Microsoft account?

      • Which version of Windows 10 is installed on the pc?
    I suggest you to Sign out from the current user account, restart the pc and login to the admin account or the Microsoft account to check.

    I would also suggest you to do a clean boot and check if any third party apps are causing the issue.
    Placing the computer in a clean boot state can reduce software conflicts and help identify the root cause of the issue.

    Please refer to the article below for steps to perform a clean boot.

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: Once you are done with the troubleshooting, perform the steps in "How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot "to reset computer
    as usual.


    Hope this information was helpful. Please let us know the status of your issue so that we can assist you further.
