    Wi-Fi connects automatically


    I had yesterday updated to Windows 10 Pro 1903 and the problem was that I used the ALFA adapter to strengthen the WiFi but after the update i got the WiFi computer that automatically communicates with the ALFA and when i disconnect the WiFi device also disconnect the ALFA adapter.

    I have tried a reboots operation and reset for the network but the same problem is on the list .

    DELL Inspiron 15R 5537

    please help

    :)

    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!

    Wi-Fi Is Not Connecting Automatically


    Every time I started my computer, my wi-fi adapter would connect to the wi-fi network automatically. But now, I have to enter the password and connect manually every time I login to my computer. Even if I check "Connect Automatically" it doesn't help.

    Tried the following, still isn't working.

    Wi-Fi connects automatically

    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.
    I'm almost sure it goes for every Wi-Fi network it remembers.

    Any suggestions ?

    Thank you
