Windows 10 has many new features and the most of them are very useful and necessary. But, some of them can compromise your security. Consider the following scenario. Your friend has visited you and asked to use your Wi-Fi. Of course, you told him your Wi-Fi password. He will enter it in his laptop, which recently have upgraded to Windows 10. Then, he can always use your Wi-Fi. But, Wi-Fi Sense allows your friends contacts from Skype and Outlook to log into your Wi-Fi network, although you didn’t give them the password. In other words, completely unknown people to you can use your Wi-Fi without your permission. This guide will show you how to disable Wi-Fi sense in Windows 10.
