cannot stop the automatic connection to other routers

I am a truck driver and do a lot of travel and whenever I get near a wireless router, that my computer will automatically connect. How do I turn off where it only connects to the network I want to it.

Hi Ohiom35,

Try this method and check if that helps.

  1. Open manage wireless networks by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center, and then, in the left pane, click manage wireless networks.
  2. Right-click the network profile you want to change, and then click Properties.
  3. Click the connection tab, clear the connect to a more preferred network if available check box, and then click OK.

  • I need to know how stop the automatic updates, secondly how do I substitute him "you can't run this program on this pc?

    First of all, I need to know how to stop the automatic updates, second how to replace him "you can't run this program on this pc?  I SWEAR THAT IF HE SAID THAT HE AGAIN THAT I WILL BREAK IT INTO PIECES. Then I'll go buy an android tablet.  Surface, hate hate 8

    Yes running of programs that are not on the store is not possible. It is not a parameter or artificial, it's just that the RT line uses what is called an ARM chipset, also known as RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Chip).  Literally, he cannot read the compiled code of complete programs.  Same reason you can't run Adobe Photoshop on an iPhone, just CPU cannot decode the program.  But on the good side of things, it cannot launch virus either, so he made the first version of Windows that cannot get 'gunked up' over time. It works like an iPad and have a continuous and consistent performance for a lifetime. I'm sad that they abandoned it so fast, I know a lot of people who could use this service.

    Anyway, you can skip the connection at startup.  There is in fact in two ways.  Unless you do a lot of "full stops", I recommend enter Power Options and setting by turning off the "password required when you wake up sleep."  Which will remove the requirement for password of sleep/wake, but if the device never complete a boot will always be a password.  This is a good compromise for safety and security, so if the device is lost or stolen, it eventually crashes when the battery is dead.

    But if you want to delete this, you should be able to do it by running the command NETPLWIZ, as described here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOYmY-6Wd3Y

    Apple please STOP the automatic download of data.

    We poor in the real world do not have access to FREE always on WiFi. Some are on very expensive sat links to their ship (and just got a warning written for misuse of data) or in deserts (somewhere that doesn't have 3 starbux in 100 mtrs).

    End result is we the poor are poor and annoyed with Apple.

    When you offer a button that says "stop the automatic update" Please everything including.

    At the same time until APPLE wake up is of anyway to stop this stupidity eat data?

    Oh and I love when you do a search for "ios 9 automatic download makes me angry" in the research community it doesn't show any negative results of apple. Maybe they should use google...

    It would help if you had to be a little more specific on the download of data.

    Hello.

    How can I enable automatic screen rotation again?

    I would much appreciate your help.

    Thank you, Justin!

    I tried this, but as I no longer had an automatic rotation checkbox, I couldn t solve the problem.

    The solution came through the cat of Acer service. Acer technician Mukesh was very nice and patient, we tried all possible options, but the auto-rotation option was not available, the only way to recover is to install the proposed pilots:

    http://global-download.Acer.com/GDFiles/driver/platform%20Drivers/platform%20Drivers_Intel_10.18.10...

    After installing these drivers, I got automatic rotation check box and could solve the problem.

    I am very happy that I could solve the problem and very happy with the Acer´s customer service.

    Thanks for your suggestion.

    Kind regards

  • Stop the automatic download of the driver?

    Maybe it's nothing to do with the HP software, but confirmation of this would be very useful. I have a LaserJet P1006 that works very well with the 'original' driver assistance. Whenever I have run Windows 7 (I use an iMac) a driver for the HP Color LaserJet 2800 PS Series is automatically downloaded, registered under devices and printers as "HP LaserJet P1006-1", and it becomes the default printer. Printing is then impossible Windows, until I deleted this driver and returned to the original "LaserJet P1006" driver. Until the Color LaserJet printer is deleted, it is the only printer shown, although there is also a DeskJet which then becomes available.

    Device settings are set to "never install the driver from Windows update." Windows Update is set to "Download updates but let me choose whether to install them".

    I would be really grateful for any suggestions on how to stop the automatic download of the incorrect driver.

  • Disable the automatic connection for Windows 7 with 1 single active account.

    I've searched high and low on Google but all I could find are methods to allow the automatic connection.

    Is it possible to have Windows 7 load to the top of the selection of Auditors even screen with 1 single active account?

    I remember what is a function available in XP.

    There are probably more simple methods, but it certainly works: create a fake account, then bring it to be hidden from the logon screen. The following batch file will do it for you when it is run under elevated privileges. Of course, you must disable the usual automatic connection setting via this command:

    Control userpasswords2

    And here's the batch file. Use the copy & paste - do not retype! Note that the line starting with
    "echo > % RegFile" is a very long line that ends in 'UserList]. " Not to break upward.

    off @echo
    Set RegFile="%temp%\reg.reg".
    echo > RegFile % REGEDIT4
    echo > RegFile % [HKey_Local_Machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]
    echo > RegFile % "DummyUser" = DWORD: 00000000
