so i have 3 offices, each of them has wifi with the same SSID and password.

issue is on windows 10, when i go from one office to another it does not connect to the wifi. it shows me the wifi logo crossed with an x and says "something has changed since your last login" and it asks me to put in the password AGAIN. but thats very silly and the password is ridiculously long so its not really easy to go look it up and copy it every time 3 or 4 times a day when i go from one office to another.

i am guessing its a security related setting that alerts me the mac of the router changed. but i cant seem to find a way to fix it.

does anyone here have any idea??

I don't know, but I recommend just changing the SSID's so it's not confused. Just add 1, 2, 3 to the end.

Windows 10 was recently updated to FORCE updates without allowing users to choose not to allow it. It fucks with me in my games a decent amount but only for a short amount of time.

That does sound like a security issue. And I don't think that disabling that behavior would be a good idea even if you could find a registry key to do so.

What might be easier is simply changing the password. If your current password is something like asdkfjkj4khj4klh4k3lj$52h45k12%J1h2kljk, then change it to MaryPoppinsFliesIntoTheLondonSky789WithHerUmbrellaOfDreams, or something that you can learn after a few days.
