Windows 10 keeps going to a hidden network after trying to connect to my own wifi
Just got knocked off my connection and when i try to go to the wifi settings on the taskbar it defaults to Hidden Network but my original wifi connection is still being displayed. If i try to scroll up to my wifi network it wont let me and keeps highlighting the hidden network. Never encountered this issue before. Any suggestions?

Disconnect the WiFi and put the laptop into Airplane mode, then delete all the wifi networks it has been connected to.

Attach an ethernet cable and log into your router, change the password.
It sounds like it's been compromised.

Update: i reset my router and restarted my PC after disconnecting from the hidden network as i did suspect an attack on my network thanks to you guys and my own experiences with wifi pentesting, thanks for the warnings guys!

Make sure UPnP is totally disabled on the router.

As of now the issue is resolved but I'll check that as well
