How To Disable Wi-Fi Sense In Windows 10

[Guest]

Although Wi-Fi Sense is enabled in Windows 10 by default in an effort to provide a hassle-free experience, using the feature could also be a security concern.

This is enabled by default? Whoever thought that was a good idea needs to find a new job.

My wifi settings don't look like that. I don't have a "Manage Wifi Settings" link

And every once in a while, when I think that when i assemble my "next' desktop, I will probably have to go to Win10, information like this makes me re-think the issue. Glad to have stayed with Win 8.1 after being forced to leave Win7. (But I should probably check my wife's laptop I guess.) Thanks for the infoo and tutorial. 🙂

All of those instructions are completely useless if your system doesn't have a Wi-Fi adapter installed.

Also, the options here are different if you log in with an MS account or a local account.

All of my systems log in with a local account, so some of those options and defaults are not available.

For instance, "Connect to networks shared by my contacts" does not exist.

Is this really still an issue? The ability to share Wi-Fi credentials with other contacts via Wi-Fi Sense was removed back in build 1607 and as of today, the number of Windows 10 installations still on 1507 or 1511 is a combined 1.5%.

So this now is really just a list of SSIDs you choose to automatically connect to, which you have manually entered the key for.

I don't have this link too.

Back in November, I spent $1200 to wire the whole house with Cat6e / coax dual gang outlets in every room.

Yes, I have 2.4/5Ghz wireless but that’s restricted to phones and tablets and I do NOT offer a guest wireless to family and friends.

All of our PCs are on the latest Win10 build, and those have everything non-essential to boot and run disabled/removed. Quicker boot, less BS.

Lol, making an article with an outdated/unregistered version of Windows so all the menus are not like they are with the up to date version. Well done!
