How to stop Windows 10 Enterprise from using logged in user's credentials for wireless

We're running Windows 10 Enterprise, domain joined, in a large enterprise with a managed network using WPA2-Enterprise.

When joining a wireless network, how do I stop Windows from attempting to authenticate to the wireless network using the logged in user's credentials, and force it to prompt for username/password to the wireless network?

I try all of this without success:

netsh wlan profiles delete

Choose "forget this network"

I check using netsh wlan profiles and there is no local or GPO profile listed. However, upon connecting to the network again Windows again does not prompt for the network credentials and uses the logged in user. (Yes, the logged in user can authenticate to the network but we need to be able to test other credentials not in AD.)
