How to disable automatic browser opening in Wi-Fi access point for Win10?

Question

When I connect my laptop to a free / public Wi-Fi hotspot (FreeWifi, Orange ...), Windows 10 automatically opens my default web browser and goes if possible for ISP portals. Therefore, every time I connect to the Wi-Fi SSID, my browser opens.

Very good for normal use, but not for testing a web browser!

How to disable the action that opens the browser each time you connect to a Wi-Fi access point?

Answer 1

One solution I found is to modify the Windows registry directly:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ NlaSvc \ Settings \ Internet \ EnableActiveProbing

And to do this from a script package, I goal:

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet" /v EnableActiveProbing /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f 

• REG ADD: add / change registry;
• Then specify the registry registry;
• / v EnableActiveProbing: indicates a change in v ;
• / t REG_DWORD: indicates t ype values;
• / d 0: adds d ata;
• / f: to f change orce.

(Additional help for REG ADD / h)

It works fine on Windows 10 with administrator privileges. Hope this helps some people.

I suggest the following short solution for noobie.

Disable: Save the following text in the disable.reg file, and then double-click on it. This will be changed accordingly in the registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Use this if delaying startup of NlaSvc does not work ; Use this if delaying startup of NlaSvc does not work

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet] "EnableActiveProbing"=dword:00000000

Enable: Save the following text in the enable.reg file, and then double-click on it. This will be changed accordingly in the registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Use this if delaying startup of NlaSvc does not work ; Use this if delaying startup of NlaSvc does not work

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet] "EnableActiveProbing"=dword:00000001
