I want system to automatically disconnect my internet connection when I shut down my laptop.  It used to do that but feature apparently removed by subsequent updates.  If I don't manually choose disconnect, it shows connected next time I turn on laptop.  The "automatic connect" option is not enabled.

Found Wireless Properties,  but neither option box was checked.  I checked 1st option, then unchecked it, then exited app.  Then I shut down computer but did not manually disconnect internet. Also confirmed "connect automatically" option not checked.  When I turned laptop on, it immediately showed internet connection still active.  😔

I hope you found this answer helpful. Is there anything else I can assist with?

Hello. Could you please clarify what is meant by disconnect when you shutdown your laptop? Anytime that your PC is powered off Windows would be shut down and inactive
