    Keeps connecting to an open WiFi that's not on the "known" list


    Thanks, sml156! I used the block command and it appears to work. Now Windows automatically connects to "home-wifi" on boot, rather than xfinitywifi.

    Thanks again! I appreciate it!

    Your Welcome anytime awesomesauce.

    You should mark the thread as solved, I think it gives the moderators a warm fuzzy felling every time they see that green check mark.

    Also if someone is having a similar problem and search the forum with the same problem will probably check the posts marked as solved first and see if it helps them too.
