Windows 10: Remove unwanted wifi networks (specifically "xfinitywifi") from the list of wifi...

This is a catastrophic problem!

Approximately every 5-minutes or so, my secured wifi connection is being interrupted and the unsecured "xfinitywifi" mobile hot spot connection attempts to connect to my computer. I have disabled mobile hot spot connections so, it never actually connects to my computer however, every 5-minutes or so, it disrupts my secured connection again and attempts to connect to "xfinitywifi". I have been unable to FORGET this network in the list because there is no FORGET option to do so. The only option provides is to connect.

There must be a way to purge all network connections and relist only those which I have provided in home. There must also be a way to stop accepting new broadcasted local wifi network listings.
IF you have nothing like this now, PLEASE implement a FIX for this ASAP!

Is there a way I'm not aware of to Remove "xfinitywifi" from my list? I tried to remove it with a cmd option to remove this network listing but was unsuccessful because that network profile was not found on the list.


Thanks for your help!

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


Sorry, I might not have been clear:

-I do not have Comcast. I own my own WiFi access point. WiFi is on and working. No problems.

-When I boot up, Windows automatically connects to "xfinitywifi". When I manually disconnect from xfinitywifi, Windows automatically connects to my home WiFi network (let's call it "home-wifi"). I don't even have to click on "home-wifi" and press connect - Windows remembers that I've previously connected to "home-wifi" and just automatically connects to it as soon as I disconnect from "xfinitywifi"

-I do not ever want to connect to "xfinitywifi". I want to always connect to "home-wifi".

-There is a "Manage Known Networks" option in "Network and Internet" \ "WiFi" \ "Manage WiFi Settings". Only "home-wifi" is listed here.


Somehow, despite me NEVER having chosen to connect to "xfinitywifi", Windows connects to it every time I boot.

[/quote] They do not want to black list anything, because that is not the issue. The XfinityWifi and CableWifi are public hotspots for customers with Comcast and other affiliates that can use those hotspots in areas that are served. Black listing the Xfinitywifi & CableWifi hotspots will actually break their wifi, not fix it.

If Wifi is active on the eMTA, but not being picked up, others can be seen by the radio in the wifi, the problem is with the OP equipment. If leased, they need to take it back to Comcast and pick up a new one to replace the old one.

I've got a weird problem I can't figure out:

New Surface Book running Windows 10. Every time it boots, it connects to "xfinitywifi" (an open WiFi access point apparently belonging to a neighbor). This AP has "limited connectivity", though, so no internet access (and I don't want to be connected to it, anyways!).

I've previously connected to my home WiFi, and this is the only network listed in my "Manage known networks" list. When I manually "disconnect" from xfinitywifi, Windows automatically connects to my home WiFi. For some reason, though, on boot up, it automatically connects to this open network (despite being set to NOT connect to open networks), and it prefers this open network over my (secured) known network.

I have disabled the "Wi-Fi Sense" "feature".

Any ideas?
