How to forget/delete a wireless network in Windows 11/10 [Tutorial]

Windows 10 saves a list of Wi-Fi networks you connect to along with their passphrases and other settings. If you want to prevent your PC from automatically connecting to a network, you will need to make Windows "forget" the Wi-Fi network.

The process was obvious in Windows 7, where you could simply select "Manage Wireless Networks" in the Network and Sharing Center of Control Panel and delete the saved networks. Windows 8 removed this option and forced you to use Command Prompt commands. But in Windows 10, Microsoft again offers a GUI for this.
