Windows 10: WiFi SSID from User Profiles to Group Policy Profiles

How can I change WiFi SSID from User Profiles to Group Policy Profiles

How to change to manage wifi profiles specific to user login

Problem
windows 10 by default saves / remembers wifi profiles across all users … rather than by user login or specific to a user login … I have multiple SSIDs .. each SSID is mapped to separate vlan and router allows traffic based on vlan .. for example one vlan blocks youtube and other vlan allows

Other info
Running W10 on surface pro and surface book .. use local user accounts .. not a domain / AD setup

Goal
wifi connections / profiles to be remembered by user profile rather than by device. So a login to a local user account would only look to the wifi profiles saved/managed specifically for that user account … and if current user login each session (could toggle back and forth) W10 would toggle appropriate SSID for each user

Possibilities
Command line using NETSH .. or powershell to change network type to user specific. Researching this topic I found steps to do this in W7 and apparently W7 used to have UI manage wireless networks were this field was exposed and could be toggled but removed in W10 .. guessing the attribute on the wifi profile record is still there and could be set or changed with proper syntax.

Login script, seems less desirable but its possible a script to block access by user to specific SSIDs .. so the SSIDs would continue to store and remember for all SSIDs at device level (all user logins could see all saved wifi profiles) but the login script would block based on user login .. just not sure how robust is the login script approach but seems at minimum to be more maintenance across devices.

Maximum Hidden SSID profile registration

I have 3 WiFi N and 1 WiFi AC access points in our home which all my PC/desktop are able to register these 4 access points. But using my Windows 10 Mobile (10586.218) with Lumia 950 XL, I can only register maximum of 3 hidden SSID. When registering the
4th one, it requires me to delete the 3rd profile. Before, when I restore my phone using my Microsoft account, all my account's AP registered were able to register all my profiles, regardless of the number of hidden SSIDs. My questions are:

1. Is there a possibility to reinstate the 4th hidden SSID network?

2. From PC back up of these profiles, can I restore these registered SSIDS in Lumia? How?

3. Before, setting one SSID from hidden to broadcast, then phone's manage WiFi SSID register this SSID and then set the WiFi SSID to hidden can let my phone connect to this same SSID. But now, to no avail.

4. Why the phone has limited to 3 only since the user would be aware the high battery usage?

Hope to get workaround for the above issue. Thanks.
