Windows 10 automatically connecting me to random WiFi networks EVERY MINUTE, and re-enables "Connect Automatically" for all WiFi networks by itself.

[Rob.S]

Every few minutes my internet connection will drop out for a second. It's really annoying, and gets in the way of everything, because Windows 10 randomly connects me to unwanted networks.

 

I disabled "Connect Automatically" for every single WiFi network except the one I want to use, from the WiFi notification icon, bottom right of screen. 

 

However, the next time I check, every single WiFi network has "Connect Automatically" enabled for no reason, and as a result Windows 10 keeps trying to connect me to this insecure open WiFi network close to my house.

 

I really need this fixed as it is preventing me from getting work done, and also interrupts and corrupts  all of my downloads. It is also not wanted at all, as the other networks are slower and insecure. 

 

This happens every minute.

 

I have tried everything I can find "settings" app - including forgetting all networks, re-installing drivers, moving the WiFi adaptor around, etc, but no avail.

 

EDIT: Forgot to say that I never used to have this issue, and I always have full signal (router is in the next room), and signal never drops.

 

All help is appreciated.

I know that during the Windows 10 installation I am always offered the option for Windows to connect to open WiFi networks around.
