Enhanced Open on Windows

[rfd1]

Has anyone else experience of running an Enhanced Open with transition WLAN?

I have seen that most devices treat it correctly and only show one network in the list of available networks. Windows 10 and 11 however show the hidden network also which customers find confusing.

It looks to me like a bug in Windows and it interesting that the Cisco config doc: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/catalyst-9800-series-wireless-controllers/217737-configure-enhanced-open-ssid-with-transi.html doesn't have a windows example.

That seems to be a feature of Windows - when it says *any* SSID without a name it shows Hidden Network in the list, usually for WPA networks (with the padlock).  In this case it adds a second Hidden Network without the padlock.  I agree that it looks like a bug because it already knows that it's an OWE transition SSID!
Even stranger in the netsh wlan sh networks mode="bssid" output it shows the SSID name against the OWE SSID and the "hidden" transition SSID as nameless!  In this case the hidden WPA3 OWE SSID is called enhancedopen and the regular open SSID is called open:

SSID 2 : open
Network type : Infrastructure
Authentication : OWE
Encryption : CCMP
SSID 3 :
Network type : Infrastructure
Authentication : Open
Encryption : None

Microsoft seems to have added the feature to make it easier for people to join hidden networks - but they clearly didn't think about this case.
