Wi-Fi Sense -
"What it is: Wifi-sharing via your private wifi passphrase, shared to anyone that is your friend on facebook, skype, or anyone you have added in your address book.
Why you should disable it/remove it: beside the obvious security risks in making your personal home wifi open to anyone, your ISP may consider this a breach of TOS and then you in a lot more trouble.
How: open the Start menu and head to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > Manage Wi-Fi settings. In here, you basically want to disable every option you see, as well as tell Windows 10 to forget any Wi-Fi networks you’ve signed into in the past.
you also need to dive into your actual router’s settings and give your network a new name with “_optout” at the end. For example, a network called “WiFiSenseUgh_optout” wouldn’t be stored by Wi-Fi Sense, while one that’s just called “WiFiSenseUgh” would be usable with Microsoft’s sharing feature".
So if I have disabled Wi-Fi Sense options then too I have to add "_optout" at the end of my network name otherwise it will be shared?
