Hidden connection

Not sure if this is the right spot for this post but if not, mods please move it.

Ok, this week I have noticed a hidden connection in my list of wifi connections. One I never set up
on Windows 10. Strange thing is when I click on it has auto connect in the checkbox checked. I uncheck and let it go back to tray. I then open the access connections and it is checked again. I am wondering if I am infected or is just another Windows 10 issue?

Thank You

 

If you go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > Manage Wi-Fi Settings, do you have "Connect to suggested open networks" enabled?

 

This is what is shows and I never changed it since installing Win 10.

 

I have disabled both of those settings.

 

I had done that and restarted and have same outcome.

 

I have looked at this too

How to Remove Hidden Network Adapters
Windows automatically hides devices that are not presently connected to the system, but they still exist in Windows' configuration. This is especially problematic when changing virtual network adapters and not being able to remove IP configurations from old adapters. To resolve:

1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd.exe, and then press ENTER.
2. Type "set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1", and then press ENTER.
3. Type Start DEVMGMT.MSC, and then press ENTER.
4. Click View, and then click Show Hidden Devices.
5. Expand the Network Adapters tree.
6. Right-click the dimmed network adapter, and then click Uninstall.

 

I wonder if it is a neighbour's WI-FI? Have you tried connecting to it?

 

I have not tried connecting to it yet. I did do a sys restore last night. My internet connection was limited and no matter what I could not get it back till I restored but that didn't get ride of the hidden connection, plus this morning I noticed a new unhidden connection I thought was the neighbor's but also it was always set to auto connect and unchecking it doesn't help, it always rechecks itself but after surfing a while the hidden connection disappears.
