Can I stop Windows 7 searching for wireless networks all the time?
My internet keeps freezing (chrome and firefox), and it seems to be when windows is searching/trying to connect to other networks.
When I un-tick connect automatically, everything runs smooth again, but it soon picks the connection back up.
Cheers :)
Disable wireless zero config service? Not sure if it's called the same on 7.
I've had Wi-Fi connection issues that seemed to happen for no apparent reason, so disabling automatic connections to saved networks sounds like a good place to start. It's also worth checking the network adapter driver, as it can sometimes cause this kind of problem. (https://esimplanet.io/) When travelling, eSIM connections can help you avoid relying on public Wi-Fi, although it's important to compare coverage and data plans for your destination. Have you tried deleting old saved networks to see if that fixes the issue?
