Win11 Forget this network option missing for saved Wi-Fi networks in Settings
In Settings → Network & Internet → Wi-Fi → Manage known networks, the Forget button does not appear when selecting certain saved networks. This option is visible for some networks but is missing for...
You can remove a saved Wi-Fi profile through the command line even when Settings doesn’t show the button.
Open Terminal as administrator and list the saved profiles:
netsh wlan show profiles
Then delete the specific profile, using its exact name from that list:
netsh wlan delete profile name="Your Wi-Fi name"
This removes its saved connection details, so you’ll need the password or QR code to reconnect. If you’re currently using that network, expect the connection to drop.
If the profile is listed under Group Policy profiles, or it returns after deletion, it may be managed by your organisation. In that case, IT needs to change the policy. Being added through a QR code alone doesn’t establish why the Forget button is missing.
