Windows 10: I Don't Want to Auto Connect to Wifi

Every time I start my PC it auto connects to WiFi, I don't want this to happen. I have turned off "connect automatically when in range" and I have unchecked the box "connect automatically when this network is in range" from the wireless network properties but it still auto connects.

What can I do to prevent this from happening?

:)

 

Computer connects to Wi-Fi even though auto connect option is turned off

I don't want the windows to auto connect to the wifi so i turned the auto connect off. Even though auto connect is off windows is still connecting to wifi. Why is it doing that?

IMAGING DEVICE IS MISSING!

This doesn't help.

Imaging devices are not in Device Manager, There is no Webcam listed, Windows 10 isn't showing the webcam, The manufacturer used the Windows default driver so there are no legacy drivers to download.

For some reason I can't even select a webcam in the install legacy device window.

The imaging devices that are listed are all scanners. Not a single webcam listed.

Thanks MS for yet again not listening or caring about your end user.

 

Hey Anfor,
Check this tutorial - Turn On or Off Connect Automatically to Wireless Network in Windows 10 Network Sharing Tutorials

If you're not wanting to use WiFi at all then disable the adatper - Go to Control Panel > Network & Sharing > Change Adapter Settings > Right click on your WiFi adapter and disable.

 

What didn't help ?

 

The suggestions in that tutorial.

 

K ... need to to know the make/model of your PC and the make/model of your wireless card?

Note: There could be other software that is controlling the wifi auto connect ... Example (Intel Wireless ProSet or HP Wireless Assistant)

 

I have a custom build PC with Intel Core i5-3570K and the wireless card is Asus PCE-AC68.

I have updated my system specs in my profile.

 

Check Task Scheduler for "C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\PCE-AC68 WLAN Card Utilities\WlanMgr.exe" entry that runs at user login.

Edit: Opps forgot, If you find that task you can right click on it and disable it.

Might want to check the following to see if there is entry related to the PCE-AC68 WLAN Card Utilities and/or WlanMgr.exe
1. Task Manager > Startup
2. Windows Services
3. Asus Control Center

 

This card use to have a software that could be used to change some of the settings, but it has been removed with the latest windows 10 driver. There is no such entries in the task manager.

Edit: The software was removed because it didn't work under windows 10.

 

Give autoruns a try and see if you can track down what's starting it.

SysInternals Autoruns - Autoruns for Windows - Windows Sysinternals | Microsoft Docs

 

Autoruns shows a driver called BCMWL63A, the description is Asus PCE-AC68. Should I uncheck the box?

Edit: Unchecked it but the wifi card stopped working.

 

Problem solved! It was qlogic network adapter that I could see from autoruns64.exe, not discovered by autoruns.exe. Thank you very much eagle51.

 

In the Network and Sharing under WIFI, manage known network, if it is listed there, click on it and click forget.

 

Problem is back again.
