Windows 10: Seeing “Hidden Network” under connections

When I look at my internet connections I’m seeing “Hidden Network”. I’m not connected to it but why am I seeing this? Does it have anything to do with someone trying to hack or view my computer. Just seems weird to me

There’s two. One wants a password and the other does not

Losing network connection

Hello Dear, if you have a laptop or a PC with a wireless network adapter, you can see a list of available wireless networks and then connect to one of those networks. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

2. In the left pane, under Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
In case, If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Refresh network list. If you see the network but the signal is weak, move the PC closer to the wireless router.

3. Click the network you want to connect to, and then click Connect.

4. If you're connecting to a secure network, type the security key, and then click OK.

I Hope you solve out your query soon.

I would suggest simply not worrying about it, for a number of reasons.

1. Hiding your SSID won't grant you any security anyway. Anyone who wants in can find your SSID anyway.
2. It makes it more difficult to connect, even when it does work.
3. Some devices, for some reason, just don't like hidden SSIDs and have trouble with it.

Just not worth it.
