By default, when a Windows 10 computer turns on, it will not connect to Wi-Fi. So you can't access the computer remotely. If you want the laptop to connect to Wi-Fi even before any users have logged into Windows, follow these instructions: 1) Log in as a user and connect to the Wi-Fi network that you want to automatically connect to. 2) Export the Wi-Fi profile using this command: netsh wlan export profile name="MySsidHere" folder="C:\temp\" key=clear (clear means to export the wifi key without encryption, it doesn't clear/modify anything) 3) Add that profile to "all users" with this command: netsh wlan add profile filename="c:\temp\Wi-Fi-MySsidHere.xml" user=all
