Windows is horrible in this regard. And what's worse is that the users seem not to care such that this behavior proliferates. I have a windows machine that I take it offline and want it running at all times. No updates possible, Wi-Fi is turned of right? Wrong, windows does restart machine and enables Wi-Fi. It pisses me to no end how little control I have of this machine
- jaywalk 5y agoSounds like you're just using the basic toggle switch to "disable" Wi-Fi when that's not really the purpose of the switch. If you actually want the Wi-Fi disabled, you have to do it right. Do it in the UEFI menu, or disable it in Device Manager if that option isn't available. It won't get re-enabled if you do it right.
- onemoresoop 5y agoYou're absolutely right if I wanted to disable Wi-Fi permanently. The problem is that I want it enabled at times without rebooting the system.
- jaywalk 5y agoSo that rules out the UEFI method, but you can enable and disable in Device Manager without a reboot.
