Question
Tuesday, April 4, 2017 12:00 AM
Hello,
We have a wireless configuration that allows User or Computer authentication to occur, but the "Automatically use Windows credentials" box is unchecked. On Windows 7, this results in a bubble in the bottom-right corner of the screen, telling the user to click to put in their credentials.
On Windows 10, though, no bubble appears, and the connection seems connected, but eventually shows the "No internet" icon. If you disconnect and reconnect, it finally prompts you for the credentials. For some reason, Windows 10 fails to notify the user that additional credentials are needed. Running Win10 Build 1607.
This is a long shot, and I assume that it's simply because Microsoft has rewritten the wireless config in Windows 10 and left out a bunch of legacy features. See the below thread for screenshots of what happens on Windows 7, but not Windows 10.
Thanks for your help.

Your description is a normal phenomenon, also, your thought is correct.
Windows 10 network profile does reduce some configurations, correspondingly, fewer notification, current wireless config is simpler than before Window 7, it’s by design, since Windows 8.1.
There is a good link introducing Windows 10 wireless config, what we can do are just those here.

Unfortunately there is no solution for using a Group Policy to configure wireless networks in this scenario. Since the user doesn't have the "Forget" option when using a GPO, they can never change their settings or password.

Since you have used Group policy to configure wireless network, and leads to no Forget option for your users, I think the only way to delete existing network profile is using command line. This way is a little complex, but we have no choice.
netsh wlan delete profile name="WirelessProfileName"
