Windows 10: Running Program in Windows When Not Connected to Specific Network

I have a Windows 10 PC and a VPN client which does not have a trusted networks feature. I would like to automatically run the client when not connected to my office corporate network or guest WiFi network, and stop the client whenI have read that you can trigger programs in Task Scheduler to execute on Event ID 10000 which is connecting to a network, or ID 10001 when disconnecting from a network. However, I checked my Event Viewer and cannot see these events. The Task Scheduler also does not have an option under the Conditions tab to run the executable when NOT connected to a specific network.

hide specific Network connection adapter from Network list

Hi Mr @Brink ,

Is there a way to hide specific "Network connection adapter" from the "Network" list in system tray (network icon list)?
I have 3 network adapters, Ethernet,WiFi and Microsoft KM-Test Loopback adapter (name as KeyShot). Whenever I disable Ethernet and WiFi adapter, KeyShot adapter appears as an Unidentified network (SS below). I know I can hide it by disable the adapter, but I don't want to disable it because Keyshot app needs that network adapter to work on Win OS.







I want the network list be shown as SS below (I want to hide just KeyShot adapter from the list):




OS: Win 10 Enterprise x64, v2004 (B19041.423)

 

How To Run Task If *Not* Connected To Specific Network?

Hi all,

I'm looking to run a task that only triggers if *not* connected to a specific network/connected to any network *other* than the one specified (wanted to phrase the question both ways so that it's more likely to help other people out searching for a solution to the same problem!).

To specify, I use a program that automatically maps all available network drives if connected to my home network ('Network Drive Control'), but I want to trigger a second program to map a single remote drive over the cloud ('Asustor EZ Connect') if connected to any other network.

How do I go about doing this?
