Windows 10 wifi password sharing turn off free - |
Can't turn off password-protected sharing in Windows 10 - Microsoft Community
cannot turn off password protected sharing windows 10 - Microsoft Community
I consider it a tease and a temptation to got back to Windows 7 where this still works. Was this discussion helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Was this reply helpful? After a couple of hours searching for possible fixes, I ran into this link that solved my problem of not able to turn off the Password Protected Sharing option.
The key was to remove or reset the password for the Guest account. Who would have guessed? Good job Bill Gate. So, this is what I did: On the computer where the files I need to have access, launch "Run". In the "Open" field, enter "control userpasswords2" to get to the Guest account. From there, I reset the password of the Guest account. After that, I can turn off the Password Protected Sharing option and it stays off. Turn off anything related to sharing your information or logging into Wi-Fi networks automatically.
If you jumped over these options during install, you can turn off Wi-Fi Sense later. In Windows 10, click the Start button and choose Settings to go to the new Settings screen. If you still want to use it but want more control, here are some simple ways to customize how it works. To start, you can remove people from your Outlook, Skype or Facebook contacts.
Your next best option is to not share all your Wi-Fi networks. The first time you log into a Wi-Fi network with Windows 10, it will ask if you want to share it with others. What do you think about Wi-Fi Sense? Does it sound like a useful tool or another security risk? Any link to or advocacy of virus, spyware, malware, or phishing sites.

Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. I found a solution that worked for me. It requires adjustment of the registry if you are willing to take the risk. Thanks for the links but i had already tried them before i posted on this site. I found my settings in the second part of the registry fix already matched, changing the first part and double checking the rest, rebooted with no success. Basically, you have to set the 'guest' account password to blank. Here are the instructions that I followed.
Try the following. Go to search and type control panel Then search in control panel for user accounts. If that does not work then right click your start button and select run. Type the following. Leave both fields blank. Reboot and try the connection again. In reply to DaveHanneson's post on June 11, Then you need to set a password for this account, restart PC reboot modem and restart all pc's then if you must use password protected sharing, enter user and password.
And in advanced sharing options Guest or Public, they have to be set. Thanks for the suggestion, but "Computer Management" does not show any options for Local Users or Groups. Can you explain? This site in other languages x.
