Hi all,
I have a laptop running Windows 10 Pro here that I do not want connecting to the Internet.
I've disabled the ethernet network card, but I don't know how to disable the in-built WiFi network card?
How do I disable the in-built WiFi network card and be 100% certain that the in-built WiFi network card is disabled?
Thank you.
Go to device manager. Right click on the WiFi adapter under Network Adapters and click disable device.
Thank you for your reply!
I searched device manager but I can't find a WiFi card/adapter. I can only find the ethernet adapter.
I've tried to disable the laptop's WiFi using a physical button that's on the side of the laptop. Could this be why it doesn't show up in device manager?

Hi NiceAndShy
From an elevated Command Prompt, type or copy & paste the following;
Code:netsh interface show interface
This should display the available interfaces and if they are enabled or not.
If you see and interface that you want to disable, type or copy the following substituting the interface name shown;
Code:netsh interface set interface Ethernet disable
Also type in ipconfig /all on the laptop, see if any ip addresses show up.
And yes the wireless button on the laptop turns it on and off.
