Windows 10: How to Change the Priorty sequence of the Network Adapters in Windows 10

As I attempt to connect to the internet using Windows 10, the computer checks for the adapter which will allow me to connect to the network.

The Ethernet adapter icon appears first before the Wifi adapter which makes a successful connection with the internet.


Because the ethernet adapter appears first in the " Network settings change adapter panel," ethernet adapter access is checked first.and the checks the wifi adapter which successfully connects to the internet.


The ethernet adapter is disabled and no network cable is attached to the laptop.

The wifi adapter appears next in the sequence and is enabled.

The default network access is set to connect automatically


I would like to know how to change the sequence of the adapters so that it checks wifi first before it is connected to the internet



Thank you

:)

Press Windows Key + R, type secpol.msc and press Enter to run it. In Local Security Policy window, go to the Network List Manager Policies in the left pane. Now in the right pane double click on the network name that you want to change. In the Properties windows under the Name section make sure that Name is selected. Now in the input field enter the name that you wish to use for your connection. Click Apply then OK to save the changes. And you might have to log in again or to restart your computer before the changes are applied.
