I'm facing a situation where my sister-in-law's workplace is planning to upgrade her Windows 10 system to Windows 11 overnight next week. They have a strict policy against using WiFi for work and only allow wired connections. However, I've heard that sometimes the update enables WiFi settings, which would require her to disable it manually before she can connect. This got me thinking: why isn't the company using Intune or PowerShell scripts to automatically turn off WiFi during the first boot after the update? I can't think of a single good reason why they wouldn't implement such a simple solution, especially since she's connected via Ethernet in the first place.

Honestly, it sounds like the IT department might just be clueless. I've seen this happen too often where the tech policies in a company are just nonsensical, possibly due to ill-informed management. They might not even realize that adopting these scripts could save them a lot of headaches—it’s like they prefer to operate in the stone age!
This whole WiFi restriction seems bizarre! It’s like they’re stuck in the past without realizing how technology has evolved. If they think no WiFi means better productivity, they’re missing the bigger picture.
I completely agree, this rule feels outdated and unnecessary. The fact that they haven’t configured Intune or something similar really shows a lack of understanding at the corporate level. It’s definitely a sign of poor IT management when basic functionality like WiFi can’t even be automated!
Right? It’s almost like they think by restricting WiFi, they can keep remote workers more focused. But all it does is create more complications, especially with updates! No one wants to deal with that hassle.
