Hi,

 

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community Forums.

 

As per the description, you need to disable enable rules to wireless connection so that it cannot be deleted by any other accounts. Is that correct?

 

1. Is this issue specific to wireless connections?

2. Are those connections are added by the standard account?

 

 

If the standard accounts have added the connection, both the accounts could be able to view the connections and delete. This is not the case with the administrator, even though standard account can view the connection, he may not be able to delete the connections.

 

I would suggest you to refer this article and see different methods to manage wireless networks. It might be useful for you.
