Microsoft has brought a lot of new features and improvements in Windows 10 which are quite useful. Microsoft’s fabled voice search assistant Cortana is one of the major features embedded in Windows 10. There’s also a huge changeover in the user interface which is kind of both good and not-so-good in my opinion. One of the changes that I observed is the lack of the option to forget the saved Wi-Fi networks right from the taskbar.

When you connect to a wireless network on your PC, it saves the Wi-Fi password so that your PC gets automatically connected to the network. However, you may change the Wi-Fi password and you need to change the password. But Windows 10 doesn’t provide any option to forget a saved Wi-Fi network in the Wi-Fi network panel. Moreover, the Settings app in Windows 10 replaces the classic Control Panel which we are used to.

The settings app in Windows 10 takes some time to get used to its features. Today we will see how to forget a saved Wi-Fi network in Windows 10.
