Listed are the network's name, connection type and mode, as well as the security standard used. WiFi Profile Manager 8 lets you change the priority of wireless networks easily by moving networks up and down in the list, and make a connection the default connection on the system.
The control menu lets you furthermore remove wireless connection settings that you no longer need, for instance those used while you were on a business trip, open the properties of a connection to display the security key and encryption type, and export or import the connection settings. Exporting and importing can be handy if you are about to switch from your old PC to a new one, or have bought a second PC. This saves you from having to create the connections on the new computer system anew.
The wireless network profile manager is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8, and can be downloaded from the Windows Club website. It is a handy program for Windows users who are about to upgrade or switch to Windows 8 and use the preferred network connection listing regularly. Yet another app needed for Win-8 to return a basic function available in previous versions. Windows 8 is turning out to be a major flop. This is the first time that I will not be one of the first to upgrade.
Speaking about network connectivity, a Kickstarter application, Connectify Dispatch will let you connect to all available Internet connections simultaneously. With Connectify Dispatch, you can even use two different Wi-Fi networks at the same time.
Click the "Configure Click "OK" three times to complete the changes. Go to the lower right corner of the Start screen. Click there to display the charms then select "Settings".
The list of available wireless networks will appear. You may have to repeat the authentication process steps 16 through 18 as many as four times to make the connection work correctly. The UMKCWPA wireless connection will work automatically when you are on campus and near a wireless access point basically the whole campus.
OK, yes, I agree! Best regards, Pete V. Thursday, October 31, PM. Kapela1 It appears deleting those registry keys makes does the job, however, a side-effect is that whenever I connect to those networks again, the Network notification area icon displays a tooltip with the generic SSID name "Network"… Static From MrElectrifyer. Complicated, but less so than using command prompt. Friday, November 1, PM. I cannot right click on the networks. No, you can't right click on the networks anymore.
That feature was removed in 8. Sunday, November 3, AM. Fix this, Microsoft. Fix it now. Monday, November 4, PM.
I have spend a few hours reading this thread. I recently installed 8. I also like to re-order the priority of networks depending on where I am working.
Clealy Microsoft where part of the NSA's 10 year cyber domination plan Thanks Raul While it is a pain to be going back to the command line to worked for me. Tuesday, November 5, AM. I can't now even get into my home wifi!!!!!!!
Friday, November 8, AM. What do I do now? I am running 8. To bad Windows 8 doesn't have an embedded user interface Wireless management tool. Thursday, November 14, AM. Thursday, November 14, PM. This is completely ridiculous. Monday, November 18, PM. Make sure to open the command prompt cmd. This will allow you to see the passwords. Honestly, I do not understand where Win 9 could be going at this rate.
Wednesday, November 20, PM. Hopefully Windows 9 would be just a continuation of the current pattern; like XP and Se7en, Windows N9ne is being preceded by a terrible pubilc beta. I suggest calling them and complaining about this AND the other power-user features you noticed were gone. Friday, November 22, AM. Call whom? I've been trying to find a phone number or E-Mail address for feedback, but I can't find anything besides support adresses.
Thursday, November 28, AM. Go to surface. Friday, November 29, PM. I'm not looking for an interface but a profile Desktop no Metro nonsense and Tablet. Monday, December 9, PM. I want to remove all my old hotel Wifi profiles and also about 20 wifi connections don't even exist anymore: 1. Using netsh only shows me the last 3 wifi networks I have connected to.
Tuesday, December 10, PM. Wednesday, December 11, AM. Monday, December 16, PM. Sunday, December 29, AM. I downloaded the latest version Tuesday, December 31, AM.
No right click in my Windows 8. Nothing comes up. Tuesday, December 31, PM. This will get rid of it adding a number at the end of th SSID. Wednesday, January 1, AM. Thanks Here's a little batch file I created to use when I am working on computers. Thursday, January 2, PM. Anyone else have this problem? Wednesday, January 8, PM. It baffles me that MS is telling people to go back to a command prompt to solve this problem.
They had a perfectly usable gui interface that accomplished the task. Why remove that from 8. The fact that you have to use command line on this or use a third party tool is sad.
My next PC will be Google Chrome. Proposed as answer by dradmin Sunday, January 12, PM. Sunday, January 12, AM. Sunday, January 12, PM. Had the same problem and tried enclosing the profile name in quotes e. Edited by ruthlyngw Wednesday, January 15, PM. Wednesday, January 15, PM. This does not give your the stored network profile window. It gives you the available wifi network list the equivalent to left clicking on the system tray wifi icon in windows 7.
What these IT professionals are looking for is the manage wireless networks window. Where you can delete old networks that you do not connect to any more, or create ad hock networks so that other computers can connect to you. I am pulling my hair out looking for this as well. Its plain stupid that it was removed. Thursday, January 16, PM. Now, while at home, how would I go out about deleting my aunts connection before going to my friends house to avoid wireless network connection issues while there?
This bat file when you run it will display your list of saved wireless connections. Works with Win 7 or 8. Edited by cjsasl Thursday, January 16, PM correct typo. I think this was removed Friday, January 17, AM. On the page that appears, make the changes you want. Stop automatically connecting to a network within range Tap or click the network in the network list, and then click Disconnect.
Ethernet 2. Tuesday, January 21, PM. I recommend you give it a try. Saturday, January 25, PM. I have rolled back to Win8! At least I can do this in there - better than Win8. Somewhere during the development of Vista, Microsoft forgot how to improve windows.
The disease went into remission a bit while they turned Vista into 7, but then it metastasized and gave birth to 8. It's like watching a sci-fi movie about brain death, maybe Mad Cownado. Sunday, January 26, AM. It is actually a well documented engineering principle, called the Ballmer Peak. See image:. Hi, I tried your method and it does not work, simply the code you wrote is incorrect. Tuesday, January 28, AM. It shouldn't be that hard after all. Thank you, Carlos.
Saturday, February 1, PM. Sunday, February 2, PM. Tuesday, February 4, AM. Friday, February 14, AM. It's apparently a stupid move to "support devs". They dumped many Windows 7 GUIs just for that purpose, at least that's the reason Surface reps told me Tuesday, February 18, AM. Tuesday, February 18, PM. Good luck getting broad enterprise adoption of 8. If companies were smart they wouldn't even let anyone BYOD with 8. Wednesday, February 19, PM.
I did not experience the error mentioned by MrElectrifyer. Until Microsoft sees fit to correct its error, this is, by far, the best solution I have found on this forum. Thanks, yannlh! Sunday, February 23, PM.
Oh, that's interesting Are your on Windows 8. Wednesday, February 26, PM. Tuesday, March 18, AM. Monday, March 24, AM. Friday, March 28, PM. Thanks for the info but here's what I got when I tried to implement the solution: Microsoft Windows [Version 6. All rights reserved. Function WlanGetProfileList returns error There was no match for the specified key in the index. This is my first experience with 8, and now I know why I have been avoiding it at all costs! Sunday, March 30, AM.
Please explain where you are running the netsh command from. To run the netsh command in Windows 8: Point at the top right hand corner of the screen. Slide down along the right edge of the screen and click on Search. In the search box, type Command Prompt and hit Enter.
In black box which appears, type the netsh command you want to execute and hit Enter. Tuesday, April 1, PM. Edited by segways Tuesday, April 1, PM. Friday, April 4, PM.
Microsoft has relented partially. After updating to KB in Windows 8. It's not a complete return to how it was in Windows 7 but at least they are showing glimmers of sanity in their madness. Thursday, April 10, PM. Yes, some improvement. An easier way than cmd prompt to get rid of all the wifi you pick up at hotels and restaurants.
Still would like the old Windows 7 way via UI from Network and Sharing Center user interface as asked by an earlier poster. Saturday, April 12, PM. Sorry, but you've completely missed the point.
Monday, April 14, PM. And I have missed the point of your post also. Who is it that has missed the point, and what is the point? I understand you still can't merge or delete unused networks as easy as you used to with Windows 7, and prior to this recent update you had to use the Command Prompt. At least now with this update I can "manage" and delete wireless networks I will never connect to again, or avoid reconnecting to them later and having them show up as "network 2" as they did before.
Tuesday, April 15, AM. This is just a matter of getting charms on a tablet. Swipe in to the center of the screen from the right edge of the screen, tap "Settings, then the wifi icon.
Saturday, May 17, PM. Glad they came back to their senses in Windows 8. For those who don't want to use a spyware account a. Microsoft Account to login to your PC, tap the "create a new Microsoft account" link then you should see an option at the bottom of the page to use a local account.
Screw the public cloud. But following it what I wanna do is not deleite my wireless connection,what i wanna do is to change its settings to Google Public DNS Can you tell me how and where I have to go to do the change of the settings?
Thank you much for any help. Sunday, June 8, PM. I will give it a try. Windows 8 - What a piece of crap. Keep removing functionality. It will help us to dump it fast. I don't buy a laptop if it comes with Windows 8. I work in IT corporate enviroment. And thanks a lot to Adre. Ziegler for this handy tool to compensate the lack of useness of W8.
Sunday, June 29, AM. Viewing this as an Admin was what helped me. I was doing a "helpful favor" in re-naming a wireless network for my parents and had the wrong password in my head, getting to the old saved one is a nightmare now! Thursday, July 3, AM.
