Windows 10: I can't connect to Unsecured network

When I go to coffee house and look at available networks, the unsecured network of coffee house shows up with a shield symbol. I can't connect to this network.
I have been using this network for 2 years and suddenly it appeared with this symbol.
Everyone else can connect to this network
I can connect to secured network in my home
It seems something in my laptop configuration has changed. I cant figure out whats that.
I am attaching image of unsecured network as below. Its "Hidden Network" displaying at bottom as open with shield symbol



Please suggest, what does this symbol mean and how can I connect to unsecured network.

Thanks

I can't connect to internet when I am away from home. I don't want to connect to unsecure networks like at McDonalds, I am able to connect to my home network.

 

Can't Connect To Secure WiFi

I'm trying to connect to a secure WiFi and it doesn't work. I get the error "Connection unsuccessful. Your phone couldn't reach the Wi-Fi network <my network>."

I've tried with a g and an n network and can't get on. It will connect to unsecured networks just fine though.

Is there a fix for this?

 

select network settings, under your wifi connections find Manage wifi settings. ensure your settings are as you would expect. scoll to the bottom and you should be able to manage known networks. select the coffee shop network and select forget.

this should allow you to set up your connection again from new.

 

Why don't you ask the owner. It is possible that they disabled it because of abuse. Asking where the problem is, works a lot better than asking random people on the Internet. Most likely the "Hidden Network Secured" is the real connection. The other is probably a disabled Guest Account, or both are Honey pots.

 

This is not a problem with them. It is most likely that they disabled it because of abuse. The OP needs to talk to whoever is working at the Coffee Shop if they have disabled it for abuse. Showing the SSID hidden could mean anything. It could be a Honey Pot, could be a wifi mesh network for utility monitoring.
