Delete unwanted wi-fi networks on my list

Hi Lillian,

I am an independent advisor and will try to assist you with this.

You can forget the networks through 'manage known networks' option.

Select Start , then type settings. Select Settings > Network & internet > Wi-Fi. On the Wi-Fi settings screen, select Manage known networks, and click on forget next to the networks that you want to remove.

There is another option of 'show available networks'. This will show any wifi network in laptop's range of detection and you can not remove the networks from here as they just show any networks that are available for connectivity.

Hope this helps!

I agree, these methods don't work.

When you Rt Click the name of the network, the only option is to connect, not to forget it.

The only networks to appear under "manage known networks" are very old, not the current ones you have accessed in recent months. Very frustrating.

WOW - Great eample of how to write a lot and not answer a question.

So I take it that Microsoft has decided we CANNOT delete old networks then?

Neither of these options have worked for years!

Windows Updates have probably made this method unworkable.

Please post a PROPER CURRENT way to remove Networks from Windows 10.

WiFi networks are like radio stations. The networks you are seeing are simply the networks that your WFi adapter's antennas are able to detect.

Nobody can access your network unless they know your network's password, just as you cannot access anybody else's network unless you know their network's password.

Even if you were able to make other networks not appear on your screen, those networks are still out there. only you can't see them.

As long as your WiFi network is (a) password-protected; (b) with a secure password; (c) that you change every now and then; and (d) your router uses the current encryption technology - WPA2 or WPA3 - you have nothing to fear from the other networks that your WiFi adapter's antennas are able to detect, just as you have nothing to fear from the other radio stations that your radio's antenna can detect.
