My computer has each network in the selected area to "connect automatically".

I just bought a new Dell laptop for Christmas with Windows 8, and this is my 1st experience with Win 8.

I noticed that when I view the list of the networks of all networks within range, all have the "Connect automatically" box checked. I just want to try to automatically connect to my own network. If I uncheck this box for all other networks it makes no difference - when I look at it once again, the box is checked.

After that research on the internet I found some advice which suggests a right click on the network name and selecting "Forget this network" in the menu that appears. However, right click on the name of any network other than mine does nothing - no menu appears. If I right click on the name of my own network this menu ("Show estimated use, set as connection metered, forget this network," etc.)

I saw a similar question posted here, as well as the answers given. It did not help. Stopping and starting WLAN Autoconfig Services makes no difference:
http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_8-networking/networks-pane-the-connect-automatically-checkbox/ae5c77fb-1234-4D5B-bf77-628f8b902a7d

It does not appear to me that this person you have his question resolved adequately, and it seems I have the same concern.

Why win 8 is configured to automatically connect to all THE networks in the list of available networks, and why I can't uncheck the "Automatically connect" for I will not automatically try to connect to networks? To clarify, I can uncheck the box, but the change is not persistent; If I move my mouse away from this network and then name click on it again, "Connect automatically" is checked once again, apart from the fact that I just unchecked it.

And why can't click on networks other than my own to get the menu choices that include "forget this network?

I am VERY frustrated user of Windows 8.

Hi Jacob,

Please write us with the following details.

(1) what is the brand and model of your computer?

(2) what type of Internet connection do you use? Is it wireless or wired?

Windows 8.1 offers the possibility to connect automatically only for wireless network. However, if you want you can follow the steps in the link below to remove or manage any wireless network.

Manage wireless network profiles

  • Needs inventory of local network VIRTUAL the virtual computer for each network adapter

    Hello

    I'm looking for VLAN VM inventories for each network adapter, the script lists the following details at the exit of the CSV file.

    VMname |  Cluster name |  Name NIC-1 |  Name of VLAN. NIC name-2 |  Name of VLAN.


    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    $(gkulikowski #08: 15:06 > get-vm | %{$clustername = ($_ | get-cluster) .name; $_ |}) Get-NetworkAdapter | Select @{N = "Name VM"; E={$_. Parent}},@{N='Cluster'; E={$ClusterName}},NetworkName,@{N='NetworkCard'; E={$_. Name}}}). Export-csv-path c:\out.csv

    but it will be output that

    Name of the computer Virtual Cluster NetworkName card
    -------                         -------                                      -----------                                  -----------

    So if you have more than 2 NICs for you will see them as well. not in the form of columns but as rows.

    OK, and if you want to have in the columns, I wrote like this:

    $(get-vm testgk | %{$clustername = ($_ | get-cluster) .name; $ntwkcards = $_______ |}) Get-NetworkAdapter; » » | Select @{N = "Name VM"; E = {$ntwkcards [0].} Parent}}, @{N = "Cluster"; E={$ClusterName}},@{N='NetworkCard 0'; E = {$ntwkcards [0].} VLAN Name}},@{N='NetworkCard 0'; E = {$ntwkcards [0].} NetworkName}},@{N='NetworkCard 1'; E = {$ntwkcards [1].} Name}},@{N='NetworkCard 1 vlan'; E = {$ntwkcards [1].} NetworkName}}}). Export-Csv c:\out-file.csv

    It will be the exact release you requested.

    'Virtual machine name', 'Cluster', 'Map' 0 '', 'Card 0 vlan' map 1 ","map 1 vlan.

    You mentioned the name of vlan, so I guess that you think of the name of portgroup.

  • Remove/heal spot LR 5 tool does not show the selected area

    A week back, I installed LR 5 on my MBP 15 inch retina. My laptop has a great hardware to run LR5. The problem I encountered was with the remove spot/heal tool. It goes as below.

    I selected the Spot removal tool and set the mode to HEAL and then selected a box on my image. In many tutorials, I have seen that the selected area appears as a circle with white border with an arrow pointing to another circle. But in my case, its invisible all. Same problem happened when I selected CLONE mode. I am attaching a video to illustrate the issue.

    Could someone help me understand what is happening? I'm new to LR, but I like the software and want to invest time and money in it. However, these questions, I am little panic and do not know if this software is value of these investments.

    Thanks to you all.

  • my computer has two network icons, 1394 and con LAN. Either, especially the icon of LAN began to move to items being passed in the system tray when I start the computer.

    I have a new and strange behavior on my computer. Until recently, the two icons, 1394 connection and LAN icons always used to appear in the whole system tray after the computer has been started. Is no longer the case. Whenever I start the computer, I don't see the icon of LAN but discover that it attributed to items passed. Then I open the properties of the network connection, uncheck 'Show the icon in the system tray', click Apply + OK, then I open the properties, check the box again, click Apply + OK; only the LAN icon is displayed in the system tray. I'd appreciate any help with this problem. The situation is sometimes the reverse case, i.e., LAN icon appears in the system tray, but I find the icon to connect 1394 points ago. I put the properties in the Start Menu, the toolbar always showed.

    Hi ErhanKarabekir,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. You have security software installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    Refer to the article below and try the steps mentioned, check if it helps.

    How to troubleshoot missing network connections icons in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/825826

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails to them it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • Computer has been infected by the worm 32 blaster... Now I have no sound, can't install/uninstall things, need help!

    My computer has been infected last night. I went into safe mode, ran malwarebytes and Microsoft security essentials and cleaned up my computer. But onceI restarted in normal mode, I noticed a ton of questions

    -Its completely gone. I cannot listen to music, can not test speakers, cant watch netflix streaming, etc.

    -Tried to run microsoft fixit, but I get an error message that the JIT debugger is not found.

    Ive been looking online and through forums for all help, but its looks like nothing works!

    Any help is appreciated!

    -Bouazza

    Ok. So, I did the clean boot with just the microsoft services to run. In doing so, I was finally able to run Microsoft FixIt. I ran some tests on this subject but it came up saying windows media player and my audio were very good. Yet, I still have no sound.

    From then on, I decided to uninstall and reinstall my audio drivers. After I did, I didn't restarted, still no sound.

    After having looked well and try a few troubleshooting steps more, it seems that most of he said it has something to do with windows media player. I followed these tips links on running a diagnostic tests (http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3517/p/19351382/19768710.aspx#19768710), the only thing that didn't work was a 1 B 63:161 B microphone registration error. But the article said that if this disagnostic dell comes back fine then issues its is a pilot (that I reinstalled the and made sure they were up to date with windows update) or it's a matter of windows.

    I still can not play music, watch videos online, heard no sounds test to sounds, hear no sound when the computer starts first, my video/webcam doesn't work, etc..

    I could not go through the boot process to see what was causing Fixit to not work, but now Im processes more than audio. Do you think I did the clean boot with just the activate microsoft services, is one of those that is causing the problem?

    I am not computer stuff that well outside the bases... Im trying here but I can't find a solution! I couldn't do the diskcheck you suggested that bc it was a bit confusing to me.

    Suggestions more?

    any ideas?

    DataGroup has no concept of selection.  You must use s:List for the support of the selection.

    You can put a Manager click on a custom like this ItemRenderer:
