How to Share Wi-Fi Password as QR Code on Windows 11

Windows 11 includes a built-in feature that allows users to share Wi-Fi passwords via QR code. On Windows 11, users can go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi and create their own Wi-Fi QR code. A QR (Quick Response) code is a type of barcode that can be scanned with a smartphone camera. It is more convenient and secure for users to share Wi-Fi passwords when they use a QR code instead of sharing passwords with others in Windows 11. Once the Wi-Fi QR code has been generated, you can scan it using the camera on your mobile device. This QR code contains the following information about your Wi-Fi network: Network name, password, and the encryption type (WEP, WPA, WPA2, or none). https://swissairways-va.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=24647 https://swissairways-va.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=1881 https://swissairways-va.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=4559 https://swissairways-va.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=45666 https://forum.veriagi.com/viewtopic.php?pid=495593 https://tucmas.fi/phpBB...

How to Renew Secret keys in SCCM console

Learn how to renew the Entra app's secret key using Configuration Manager console While working in my SCCM lab recently, I realised the secret key for one of my Entra App registrations was expired.

However, they couldn’t locate a setting to turn off printer sharing for Mac in the settings catalog. When I did some research, I discovered that there is no option to disable printer sharing for Mac devices in the settings catalog.
