How to access wireless network properties to configure a new connection in Windows 10

Solution 1:

The OP's request has not been addressed, but ignored.

In Windows 10 you can NOT edit an already configured wireless networks settings without being connected to it first. In Windows 7 you can.

In Windows 10 you can create networks manually, which exposes the GUI they want, and you can delete them as well.

But to edit them afterwards you have to at least attempt to connect to them. However if you mess up those settings and put it in a state where it would never connect it cannot be edited and must be deleted.

This is as step backwards from Windows 7.

Find setup a new connection

Select Manually Connect to a wireless network

Now, is where you will enter the SSID and applicable security info for your network. Even if you aren't connected, you can create a profile and access advanced properties
