netsh wlan show networks doesn't provide consistant results

Hi,

We need to narrow down the issue you are having when using the netsh wlan show networks command in the command prompt. Kindly provide us a screenshot of the issue. By the way, when you say "on rare occasions the command
netsh wlan show networks return a complete list", does it mean that the network names listed in the command prompt is the same with the network names in the taskbar WiFi section?

Regards.

 

Using netsh wlan commands not working

Thanx for showing me what you did. I did do the denyall command, and checked to see if my network was on the list (it wasn't), then I "allowed" my own network back in and it was the only one listed. Problem is, that other network still pops up for a few seconds and goes away, even though I went into a command prompt (as admin) and blocked it, then set it to "hide" it so it shouldn't show up in my list of networks. It's kinda strange, but I'm getting used to it...and as long as know the person has no access to my computer, I can relax. Thanx anyway. Nandi

 

Using netsh wlan commands not working

Glad to see you figured it out and marked it resolved, When I woke up this morning I realized that I have not use these commands for a couple of years and wondered if they still work. Even though you resolved it i'm figured I might as well post my results.

It's a boring Saturday so I decided to document what I would do to accomplish what I think you are trying to do.

Before I start I looked at the WiFi networks I was receiving and the total was 9 and one of those belonged to me.
Note:For Privacy reasons I will not show the 8 WiFi networks that do not belong to me that are near me.

1:
I wanted to make sure I am starting from a clean state and have no filters enabled.
Code:

I had no filters but if i did i would of deleted them first:
Delete Allow list filters
Code:

Delete Block list filters
Code:

2:
Next I blocked every SSID:
Code:

As I expected when I clicked on my network icon in the lower right hand side of the screen there were no WiFi networks displayed.




3:
Now that I got what I wanted I’m going to add my WiFi router.
Code:

As expected now when I click on my network icon in the lower right hand side of the screen only my WiFi is visible.



Although in theory the way you did it should work the same as the way I did it I would try my way and see if works the way you expect.
