    Windows 10 cannot remember Last Hidden Wifi Network


    I use the router TL-MR3420 setting the hidden wifi network
    network address: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
    gateway: 192.168.0.1
    + Windows 7 64bit connect to the wifi network: OK
    + Windows 10 64bit connect to the wifi network: OK

    But I change the network address :
    network : 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
    Gateway: 192.168.1.1
    + Windows 7 64bit connect to the network: remember the name of the hidden wifi
    + Windows 10 64bit connect to the network: can't remember the name of hidden wifi
    I must enter the name of hidden wifi (SSID) again.

    And then I change the getway of network address :
    network : 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
    Gateway: 192.168.1.8
    + Windows 7 64bit connect to the network: remember the name of the hidden wifi
    + Windows 10 64bit connect to the network: can't remember the name of hidden wifi
    I must enter the name of hidden wifi (SSID) again.

    Windows 10 so bad, it can't remember the wifi profile to switch automatic.*Mad*Huh

    :)

    Windows 10 not remembering password on hidden SSID (and not automatically connecting). Also previously used (saved) hidden networks do not show the SSID in the wifi list (just says hidden network).

    After every restart or shutdown, Windows 10 is not remembering the password (or SSID name) for hidden SSID and will not automatically connect to saved networks if hidden. If SSID is NOT hidden, it connects without any issues. I have to manually enter
    the password every time. Also once you save and logon to a hidden network, the name of the hidden SSID does not populate in the available networks (it just shows as "Hidden Network"). I have it set to automatically connect to saved networks and have the
    latest wifi card driver's, latest router firmware, and windows is fully up-to-date.

    In previous Windows (Vista and 8), the laptop would connect automatically to saved hidden SSID's and the name would show in the available networks after it was saved. Are these known issues in windows 10? Is there a fix coming soon (please)?

    Windows 10 cannot remember Last Hidden Wifi Network

    Hi hldvuong

    I'm wondering between each test did you go into Network and Internet settings => Wifi and tell it to forget the hidden network?

    I'm thinking that the first test with 192.168.0.0 is being remembered so it doesn't "learn" the new IP range.
