wifi issue

 

My laptop recently started picking up my old wifi network/passwords from my previous address from 5 years ago. The old wifi doesn't exist anymore, I havent been nearby my previous address, the laptop is not the same from 5y ago, and it was a different provider. If you dont know...would you have any idea who could help with this?

From a quick google, it looks like if you are signed in with a Microsoft account, it will store that information in your account and then transfer that information to a new device that you log in to. So chances are, it resync'd for some reason and added them back in. The networks probably aren't actually available but show up as a list of known SSIDs.

You can try to remove them using the command: netsh wlan delete profile [wireless network name]
