Oh, NOTE: Disconnect from network when you have both Ethernet and WiFi would mean turning off the router. Just disabling Ethernet or pulling the cable won't do. It'll just fall back to the WiFi. That's been my experience.

Well, not if you don't have a wireless adapter or you have it disabled in the device manager... If I'm running a system with WiFi and Ethernet adapters both installed I always disable the adapter I don't want to use (in the DM.) A simple reboot immediately after setting the UUP options to off works fine, though.

I noticed that too. Without the random asterisk I have been using Edge as my main browser on this build. I still prefer Pale Moon but as a Insider I want to help MS to work out the bugs in Edge.

Have you tried Firefox D.E. x64? It's great--and it's updated at least twice daily direct from Mozilla--I know because I have updates set to notify but don't install. I like at least the illusion of control... Edge, ugh. I haven't used it except for a couple of exploratory looks early on--nothing there for me.

Yeah, Kari pointed that out to me yesterday. It was a slip on my part, and I posted that.

Hey...no problem...my dear f14Tomcat...didn't see Kari's post at the time... Sorry for the redundancy.

I turned off notifications about a year ago, IIRC...much better... Highly recommended...! Every build upgrade since I initially set the option to off has carried the setting forward to next.

I like that idea since all the notifications I get are things I already know or don't care about.

@f14tomcat
Thanks for the tip about turning off Edge running in the background. I let Edge set idle for over two hours and it didn't freeze.

Manual/physical disconnection from network is the only way to be sure.

My W10 Home (laptop) randomly connects to our wireless network, even though it is not set to "auto-connect".

Have you tried going into Known Networks and choosing the wireless connection and selecting Forget?
