Wi-Fi specifications have changed for OSs after Windows 8.

[change point]

Analyze and rank SSID connection frequency
Determine SSID to connect preferentially according to ranking
"Wireless Network Management" (GUI) removed

The GUI has been removed, but you can adjust the priority with the CUI.

CUI is a method to change the setting by command.

Well, the main subject.

The GUI has been deleted, but you can use the netsh command to change the priority of SSID (Wi-Fi access point).
