Keeps connecting to an open WiFi that's not on the "known" list

Thank you You beat me to it.

Did you try my command

It will break their wifi. They need to not run that command. It will cause nothing but problems for the OP.

Who's Wifi the neighbours LOL it's not his wifi how on earth can blocking a Wifi SSID he does not want his computer to connect to that does not belong to him break something on his computer

If the name you gave in the first post is correct here is the command you need

Code:

netsh wlan add filter permission=block ssid="xfinitywifi" networktype=infrastructure

To set it back the way it was do this

Code:

netsh wlan delete filter permission=block ssid="xfinitywifi" networktype=infrastructure

Edit:
I just noticed Brink made a Tutorial about this

Thanks, sml156! I used the block command and it appears to work. Now Windows automatically connects to "home-wifi" on boot, rather than xfinitywifi.

Thanks again! I appreciate it!

Your Welcome anytime awesomesauce.

You should mark the thread as solved, I think it gives the moderators a warm fuzzy felling every time they see that green check mark.

Also if someone is having a similar problem and search the forum with the same problem will probably check the posts marked as solved first and see if it helps them too.
