SOLVED All Wi-Fis in range are checked for "Connect Automatically" & I can't uncheck them.

[Quinco]

This also means that I can't Auto connect to my WiFi.

I see more than a dozen in my area and all have the checkmark but nothing is preventing me connecting to my Wireless Router. When I boot the Notebooks they autoconnect if they were connected when shut down or put to sleep.

Hi Quinco,

also, if you click on the WiFi icon in the bottom panel and then on an available connection, select the one you want to deactivate by taking out the tick in the box "Connect automatically". You have to physically click on the connection to deactivate the tick in the box. That should do the trick if you only want to deactivate a few!.

See pics below.

I can untick them, but as soon as I look again, the tick has reappeared. Also, doing a reboot after connecting, the connection is reestablished, but doing a shutdown (cold boot) it does not reconnect, it has to be done manually. These ticks reappearing never used to. They do the same on my Toshiba but the aut connect still works, it only has an issue on my Dell..

Don't know, have SSDs only in a few Intel Notebooks, 2 with Win10 Pro [128GB, 256GB] and 1 with Linux Mint 20 [32GB]. Manually running Optimize seems to work but checking later shows never run so really don't know if it is a problem or only a display of results issue, doesn't appear to cause a performance issue.

Yep, that's the issue, waiting on them to fix that one before i upgrade. I'm running SSD's in all my machines

It has. The only platform that was on hold was systems with older nvidia graphics cards running legacy drivers. They fixed that end of July. My AMD Athlon II x4 with Radeon HD 3000 onboard graphics updated about a month ago. And it wanted to earlier, but I had put it off 60 days.
I usually don't recommend just upgrading to fix an issue, but it may be worth a try. You can manually do it.

Before you continue, I would advise you to upgrade to version 2004 first and then get back to everyone. Link is posted above on how to upgrade.

Used the windows Upgrade Assistant to get there, now it auto connects again. All good.
