Disable Wi-Fi Sense (auto-connect to suggested hotspots)

PrivacySafe riskReversible

Stops Windows from auto-connecting to networks it 'thinks are open' (advertised by other Windows devices). This was the 2015-era feature where Microsoft was sharing your Wi-Fi password with your contacts via Outlook. The feature has been deprecated but the policy keys are still honoured.
