Windows 10: When I click to deselect "Connect Automatically" to a wireless network, my settings are not...

Hi there,

We are having problems with competing wifi at work and home.


I deselect "connect automatically" in the network list. When I re-open my network list, I see "Connect Automatically" is still selected.


I also cannot remove the offending/unwanted wifi networks under Manage Security and Settings as they do not appear in my list.


I noticed this problem both at work and at home.


Thanks for your help.

Thanks

How to set up wireless network connection?

Hello everyone...

Windows 10: Disable automatic connection of a wireless network

This isn't helpful.

This is clearly a software issue and can't be rectified by playing with wireless settings. Please can Microsoft create a patch? I find that often it stops me logging in as the computer is confused on the networks it is connected to.

I have followed all the suggested steps and it makes no difference as I am not actually connected to the networks that the computer is suggesting I connect automatically to.

Windows 10: Disable automatic connection of a wireless network

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

If you have not tried this then you may follow these steps to test if that helps:

• 
  Open "Network and Sharing Center".
  
• 
  On the left pane, click on the option "Manage wireless networks”.
  
• 
  Look for those networks where the Security is "Unsecured." Right-click on an unsecured network, then click on "Properties”.
  
• 
  Make sure that the box next to "Connect automatically when this network is in range," is not checked. Then click on "OK" to save your settings. Repeat the steps to uncheck the box for any other unsecured networks on the list.
