On Android 11 for a hidden network there is an auto reconnect = yes:no
On Android 10 for a hidden network, I don't see any "Autoreconnect" option.

How do you add that Wi-Fi "Autoreconnect = yes:no" to Android 10?

On Android 10, the "Settings > Network & internet > Wi-Fi" setup says:
If your router is not broadcasting a newtwork
ID but you would like to connect to it in the
future, you can set the network as hidden.
Hidden Network = Yes
This may create a security risk because your
phone will regularly broadcast its signal to
find the network.

On Android 11, it doesn't bother with the lecture since it provides the
option to turn off the "Autoconnect" option (which solves that problem).

Sometimes on Usenet you can find people who know more than you do.
