How to hide the list of Wi-Fi networks in our computer
Every time we connect to a Wi-Fi network from our computer, Windows 10 displays a list of available Wi-Fi networks by clicking on the Network icon in the system tray. Additionally, the operating system allows us to save the Wi-Fi networks that we have connected to that will also appear there. However, on some occasions we may not want to display a specific Wi-Fi network in the list of Wi-Fi networks that we have connected to from this computer, so we will explain how we can hide the list of Wi-Fi networks that we have connected.
To hide the list of WiFi networks that we have connected to, we will have to use command line or CMD. So the first thing we need to do is open a cmd window with run as administrator permissions. Once done, we will have to use the following command to hide the WiFi networks that we do not want to display:
netsh wlan add filter permission = block ssid = "name WiFi" networktype = infrastructure.
So that we must replace the name WiFi with the name of the network that we want to hide from the list of WiFi networks that we have connected to or the one that appears if we do not want to see it too.
If there are multiple WiFi networks that we want to hide, we can repeat this process for each of them.
With the command show netsh wlan show we can see the networks that we have hidden from the list of WiFi networks.
