Delete unwanted wi-fi networks on my list

Question

Hello,

I have many wireless networks in my list, my own and many unwanted one, which I have no desire to connect to. How do I remove or 'forget' these network?

I have tried 'manage Wi-Fi settings' but because the network doesn't appear in myknown network list, I cannot click 'forget' for this network.

Furthermore, every time I 'untick' the connect automatically box for the unwanted network, it reappears each time and is hindering connection to my own network.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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!

Yes Thank you

Have a good one!

Answer 5

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.
