Currently Netsh support is available to select the SSID and enter the Passphrase in through command prompt for private WiFi's.

NETSH WLAN SET HOSTEDNETWORK MODE=ALLOW SSID=”YOUR WIFI CONNECTION NAME” KEY=”YOUR WIFI CONNECTION PASSWORD”

But I have a case where I need to connect Wi-Fi by entering username and password in "Network and Internet setting".

Looking for Netsh support or shell script to connect Wi-Fi

    Hi, I'm Elise, and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

    It can be done, but it’s not exactly a simple process.

    You need to create and XML WLAN profile for the correct type of WiFI system you are connection to.

    There are examples of this here:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32...

    Then run the commands:

    netsh wlan add profile filename="file_name.xml"

    netsh wlan connect name="SSID"

    Replacing with the correct xml file name and SSID which you set in the file.

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Kind Regards,

    Elise
