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.

 

Using netsh wlan commands not working

To block unwanted networks, I went to the command prompt and entered the following:
netsh wlan add filter permission=denyall networktype=infrastructure

To hide that network, I entered:
netsh wlan set blockednetworks display=hide

To allow my own network to show on the list, I entered:
netsh wlan add filter permission=allow ssid=(my ssid) networktype=infrastructure

This worked for a while, but then that other network started popping up in my list of networks and disappearing after a few seconds. I even went back to the command prompt to see if it was in my list of blocked networks (it was) and to see if it was hidden (and it was). But this morning, it showed up again in the list of available network in my Action Center then disappeared again.
