How to Forget a Saved WiFi Network in Windows 10

Microsoft has brought a lot of new features and improvements in the 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 which I personally observed is the lack of option to forget the saved WiFi networks right from the task bar.

When you connect to a wireless network on your PC, it saves the WiFi password so that your PC gets automatically connected to the network. However, it may happen that you change the WiFi password and you need to change the password. But Windows 10 doesn’t provide any option to forget a saved WiFi network in the WiFi 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 getting used to its features. Today we will see how to forget a saved WiFi network in Windows 10.
