Automatic Network Connection

I only want to automatically connect to ONE wifi network, my home wifi. However, I keep getting knocked offline because my computer is automatically connecting to ALL nearby networks listed, ones that are not “known” so I cannot forget/remove them via network settings.  I have unchecked the “automatically connect” box from all of the unwanted networks; however, the moment I minimize the network list the boxes are automatically rechecked.  There has to be a solution. Please help.

    Give this a try to see if it works:

    1. Press Windows key + A to open action center and click on All Settings.
    2. Now select Network and Internet.
    3. In the left panel, select Wi-Fi.
    4. Now in the right panel, select the option Change Adapter Options.
    5. The Change Adapter Options will open the Network Connections. You will find the network connection to which your computer or tablet is connected.
    6. Double click on the wireless connection to open the Wi-Fi status. Go to Wireless Properties.
    7. Under Connection tab, find out “Connect automatically when this network is in range“. By default it is enabled. To disable it, uncheck the option and tap ok.
