— networkAndSharing .. least useful applet but presented to users at many place.
— NetworkStatus .. has a pictorial of connected nodes, showing intenet access or absence thereof.

You can’t disable any connection on this interface, but you can always use F12 or a hardward switch to disable wifi.

— WinKey-R -> ncpa.cpl .. is a MSWE style interface. You can both the wired and wireless connections. It tabulates important details

  • unplugged
  • disabled
  • “internet access”

When you click on one of those Connections, you can Disable/Enable the adapter.
