This tutorial will show you how to view a list of all known Wi-Fi network profiles configured on the system in Windows 11.

When you connect to a Wi-Fi network for the first time, Windows will automatically add a profile for the Wi-Fi network. The saved profile contains the SSID (network name), security key (password), and connection and security properties used to connect to this specific Wi-Fi network.

Option Two

See List of Wi-Fi Network Profiles using Command


1 Open Windows Terminal, and select either Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt.

2 Copy and paste the command below into Windows Terminal, and press Enter. (see screenshot below)

netsh wlan show profiles

3 You will now see a list of all Wi-Fi network profiles on each interface on your PC.

Starting with Windows 11 build 22631.4391 (23H2) and build 26100.2161 (24H2), you should be able to read SSIDs that are UTF-8 encoded. This means that Wi-Fi SSIDs with Unicode characters (like emojis) should be properly displayed in netsh output.
