To ensure that Windows 10 laptops can automatically connect to Wi-Fi networks when employees take them home, the appropriate configuration is:
Network and Internet settings: These settings allow users to manage Wi-Fi connections, configure automatic connections to known networks, and manage network profiles.
Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi.
Ensure the option to connect automatically to the home Wi-Fi network is enabled.
Windows Firewall settings: These are used to manage firewall rules and do not control Wi-Fi connectivity.
Devices and Printers: Used for managing connected devices and printers, not for network connections.
Personalization settings: These settings are for customizing the appearance of the Windows interface and do not affect network connections.
