Though the notification means no harm and is actually there to help protect the system from malware attacks and ensure security over the network, encountering it over home networks seems to annoy many. Also, since the notification further promotes their VPN as a way to solve the problem, it further adds to the exasperation. In the following sections, we will tell you why the notification pops up and will walk you through the steps to disable the Unsafe Wi-Fi network notification in Windows 11.
Why do I see the unsafe Wi-Fi network notification from BitDefender in Windows 11?
When BitDefender identifies a network with weak security, you will receive an Unsafe Wi-Fi network notification. Now, the question is which networks fall into the category and why is your network found to be unsafe? Generally, it’s the password that’s the culprit. BitDefender categories passwords with both upper and lower case letters, and numbers as a strong password. This basically means that Hello1 is a safe password while alskdjfhg is not. Though it doesn’t make much sense, that’s how it works. So, you have two options to disable the unsafe Wi-Fi network notifications. Either choose a password that matches the requirements of BitDefender or follow the steps listed below without the need to change your password.
