To connect a Windows 10 PC to a WiFi network , all you need to do is click on the corresponding WiFi symbol in the Windows 10 task bar at the bottom right .
Then the well-known Windows 10 flyout menu opens , which then shows you the available WiFi networks .
You can now establish the connection simply by clicking on the desired WLAN. Sometimes, however, it also makes sense to open this Windows 10 flyout menu directly using a shortcut or a desktop shortcut.
The command for direct access to the WLAN menu is:
Explorer.exe ms-availablenetworks:
You can test this by pressing the Windows key + “R” and entering this shortcut. The colon at the end of the command is important. Without this, the WLAN overview will not work.
Of course, you can also create a desktop shortcut for this command in order to always have quick access to the WLAN networks . To create a corresponding shortcut, you have to right-click on the desktop and select ” Shortcut “.
Then you have to insert the command listed above as the location of the element .
After assigning a meaningful name for the desktop shortcut and completing the shortcut, you will now find the corresponding symbol on your desktop. Then you can select a more suitable symbol for your WLAN connection via ” Properties “, ” Other symbol “.
Ultimately, this could look like this, for example.
With this desktop shortcut, you now have quick access to your WiFi connections .
