Hello, I am in dire need of some advice please. For a while now I have been betroubled by constant wifi issues and I may have found the source of my problems. I have recently noticed whenever I boot up my PC for some odd reason no matter what I do my PC has "Connect Automatically" check marked on literally every local network it can find. After I uncheck all of them and confirm to connect to my normal wifi network of my home, it automatically checks "connect automatically" for everyone other network once again. I believe this is causing lots of interference and is the reason that at the moment, I cannot even connect to wifi on my main PC, and I need to fix this urgently. I also made sure to go to "All Known Networks" in my network options to try and see if forgetting all the networks would fix it but the networks don't even show in the list. Any ideas on how to remove this interference from other networks would be great, and as said in the title I run on Win 10, thanks for your time.
 
Solution
This should be a fix:

- Use the Windows key + I keyboard shortcut to open the Settings app
- Click Network & internet
- Click Wi-Fi
- Under Wi-Fi Sense, turn off the “Connect to suggested hot spots” option to disable the feature
