Forgetting a network on Windows 10 can be quite useful, especially when you want to remove a network you no longer use or have access to. In this article, I will guide you through the steps to forget a network on Windows 10. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Open the Network & Internet Settings
To forget a network, we need to access the Network & Internet settings. To do this, right-click on the network icon in the system tray located at the bottom right corner of the screen.
From the menu that appears, click on “Open Network & Internet settings.” This will open the Settings app to the Network & Internet section.
Step 2: Go to the Wi-Fi Settings
Once in the Network & Internet settings, click on the “Wi-Fi” tab on the left-hand side. This will display the Wi-Fi settings on the right-hand side of the app.
Step 3: Manage Known Networks
Scroll down the Wi-Fi settings until you find the “Manage known networks” option. Click on it to view a list of all the Wi-Fi networks you have connected to in the past.
Step 4: Select the Network to Forget
In the “Manage known networks” section, you will see a list of all the Wi-Fi networks you have connected to. Locate the network you want to forget and click on it.
A pop-up window will appear with details about the network. Click on the “Forget” button to remove the network from your list of known networks.
Step 5: Confirm Forgetting the Network
After clicking the “Forget” button, another pop-up window will appear, asking you to confirm the action. Click on the “Yes” button to proceed with forgetting the network.
Step 6: Network Forgotten
Once you click “Yes,” the selected network will be removed from your list of known networks. You will no longer be automatically connected to this network.
Forgetting a network on Windows 10 is a simple process that can help improve your network management. By removing networks you no longer use, you can ensure that your device only connects to networks that are relevant to you.
Remember, if you need to reconnect to a forgotten network in the future, you will need to enter the network’s password again.
