Windows 10: Script required to automatically connect to specific Wi-Fi network

Greetings to Windows 10 Guru's, others working towards this qualification and everyone else here to learn. *Smile

I'm using Matthew Wai's CMD & VBScript to manage my updates and have also set all connections to metered.

As a further measure to prevent surprises and increase security, I've also set my Wi-Fi connection to not automatically connect.

I use a Desktop shortcut to a simple VBScript to connect to Wi-Fi. This script works great but I've not been successful creating an event in the Task Scheduler to have it run automatically when I logon.

Could someone please assist me in creating an event in the Task Scheduler using the script I have or recommend an improved approach to accomplish this configuration?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

:)

 

Windows 10 stop automatically connecting to random new wi-fi networks

Hi,

I have searched a lot, but all the tutorials I found only explained how to not connect automatically to a known wi-fi network or how to disable wi-fi sense... but this is not what I am looking for...

PROBLEM:

• When my laptop (Windows 10 Pro X64) is not connected to a network and the wireless adapter is on, it will automatically connect to any random new unsecured wi-fi network... The only way I have now to avoid this is to disable my wi-fi adapter.

UNUSEFUL TUTORIALS I FOUND ON THE INTERNET:

• How to manually uncheck the option for a particular wi-fi network not to connect automatically in Network Properties. This is not what I am looking for. This would suggest that everytime I power my computer. I would have to manually go through all the available wi-fi networks and unclick them all...
• How to disable Wi-Fi Sense. This is not useful, because I don't even have a Wi-Fi sense option in my computer where the tutorials say it should be.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:

• I am looking for an option to tell my computer to stop connecting randomly to unknown wi-fi networks like an hyperactive, reckless idiot.

PERSONAL COMMENT:

• Honestly, why would any respectable company think that it could be somewhat wise or secure to do this... Anyone's computer could just randomly connect to any hacker's wi-fi network without the user even knowing it...

Any solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

 

Windows 10 doesn't connect automatically to a Wi-Fi network

Hi,

I have a little problem.
Every time I boot my laptop (or restart it) I need to manually connect to a Wi-Fi network thought I've checked the "connect automatically" box.



I tried to "forget" and reconnect to that network and still got the same result after a boot/restart.

Any suggestions ?

Thank you
