Wifi Sense

Open christau opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

Have you tested, that the Wifi Sense feature will be disabled? I also engaged a little about this feature but came to a different resolution. In my case setting the key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WcmSvc\wifinetworkmanager\features<user-sid>\FeatureStates to 828 disabled the Wifi Sense at least in the Settings UI of Win10 (Settings->Network->Wifi->Configure Wifi Settings). I also found this post on stackoverflow

Any way, many thanks for sharing your knowledge.

As I never had a machine with Wifi, I could not test this, but now I can confirm there is a problem. The new setting seems to be user related even though it is under HKLM. I will look into this.

The settings are specific for each user, but a normal user has no access to the registry key. So a user can not change it, and using the -admin is for machine scope. I have to do more research into this.

We can work around the normal user permission problem by passing in a user name for which the settings should be changed. But even then I was unable to change the registry to fully change the settings in the GUI, even after restarting the WcmSvc service.
