## Requirements
* Windows 7 or newer
* .NET Framework 4.8
## Download
* Microsoft Store (Windows 10 (1607) or newer):
[Wifinian](https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9pngfqps4flh)

```
winget install Wifinian
```
* Other:
:floppy_disk: [Installer](https://github.com/emoacht/Wifinian/releases/download/3.5.1-Installer/WifinianInstaller351.zip)
## Install/Uninstall
If you wish to place executable files on your own, you can extract them from installer file (.msi) by the following command:
```
msiexec /a [source msi file path] targetdir=[destination folder path (absolute path)] /qn
```
In such case, please note the following:
- The settings file will be created at: `[system drive]\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Wifinian\`
- When you check [Start on sign in], a registry value will be added to: `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run`
## Remarks
- To rename a wireless profile, press and hold its name.
- Rescan of wireless networks by OS itself is triggered by some actions and if no such actions take place, seems to be performed once per one minute.
- Automatic connection by Engage function applies only to wireless profiles whose automatic switch are enabled. If a profile whose automatic switch is not enabled has been already connected, automatic connection will not be executed.
- When you connect to a wireless network by OS's wireless menu, the order of wireless profiles may be automatically changed.
- A wireless profile is associated with a specific wireless adapter and if the adapter is not in place, such profile will not be shown.

### How to delete wireless profiles from OS's GUI
The GUI to delete wireless profiles has come back in Windows 8.1 Update. To reach this GUI, see the following.
#### Windows 10
[Network settings] from notification area (or [Settings] from Start menu) → [Network & Internet] → [Wi-Fi] → [Manage WiFi Settings] → [Manage known networks]
Note: If multiple profiles of the same name exist (it will happen if you connected to the same wireless network using multiple wireless adapters because SSID of wireless network is used for a profile name), such profiles will not be differentiated and will be deleted in bulk.
#### Windows 8.1 Update
[Settings] in Charm → [Change PC settings] → [Network] → [Connections] → [Manage known networks] in [Wi-Fi]
