Windows 11 Forgets All Saved Wi-Fi Passwords After Every Reboot

Windows 11 keeps forgetting all saved Wi-Fi passwords after every reboot, requiring me to re-enter the passwords each time I restart my computer. Despite saving the passwords correctly and selecting the option to connect automatically, Windows does not retain the network credentials, and I have to manually reconnect and re-enter passwords after every restart.

    That definitely isn't normal. first check if the WLAN AutoConfig service is running and make sure no cleanup/privacy tool is deleting saved network profiles on startup. If it started recently, try updating or reinstalling your Wi-Fi driver, as a corrupted driver can also cause Windows to forget saved credentials.

    Hi Hupixdel, I’d first delete the saved Wi-Fi profile and create it fresh, then confirm the WLAN AutoConfig service is running automatically. If every network is forgotten after reboot, try a network reset and check whether Credential Manager or a cleanup/security tool is wiping stored credentials at sign-out or startup
