    Hi Liau,

    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with
    recovering to wireless network on Windows 10.

    This issue might occur if saved wireless network is removed the network list.

    To assist you better, please provide us the information below:

    • When you say that "forget this connection", are you referring that you have clicked on forget this connection option for the save wireless network? Have you tried to save the network again?

    1. Click on network icon in the Taskbar.

    2. Then click on the wireless network which you want to connect.
