    Unable to forget wifi connection


    I have a home office and residential wifi at the same location. I need to forget the residential connection because of some issues with connecting printers and other devices. The ip address seems stuck to the HOME-2A12. See below, it doesn't exist anywhere it can be deleted or forgotten. Hoping there is an easy solution.

    :)

    Windows won't forget WiFi network

    I have 3 old Wifi networks that I want to get rid of in the list of networks. All devices show them in the WiFi list and when i click Forget, they come right back. When I go to Manage networks in Settings, they're not there, but still show in the list on every device. How can I get rid of them?

    Windows Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042
    The first image is the list of networks. I want to remove the Blackwellhome ones. The second is obviously the Manage Networks in Settings.

    Hello Santhosh,

    A quick question before we proceed:

    Are you experiencing the same issue with other devices too?

    If you are able to connect to other device, I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps:


      • Toggle Wi-Fi

      • Forget/reconnect to Wi-Fi access point

      • tested multiple access points and different locations

    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

    Forget a WiFi Network

    Hi Jess,

    Windows 10 saves a list of Wi-Fi networks you connect to along with their passwords and other settings. If you want to manage or delete a certain network, just follow the steps provided below:

    • Type Settings on the search box.
    • Click Network & Internet.
    • Click Wi-Fi on the left pane of the Network & Internet window.
    • Click Manage Wi-Fi settings.
    • Select the network name and click Forget.

    Note: Since you can't remember the network name you've connected with, you can consider forgetting all saved Wi-Fi networks on your PC.

    Let us know how it goes.
