When checked, Windows will natively manage wireless and third-party tools will be ignored. When unchecked, Windows will not natively manage wireless and third-party tools will be neceessary. This setting is only applicable to wireless networks.
XpressConnect can detect the state of the flag which enables or disables Windows wireless.
Supported settings include:
Enabled - Default. When enabled, Windows will natively manage wireless. Third-party wireless management tools will be ignored. This is recommended.

XpressConnect is able to auto remediate this setting. By default, a new install of Windows will have this setting enabled.
