In Windows 11, How Do You Join a Hidden Network?

A wireless network that is set up to not broadcast its name is known as a hidden network, effectively keeping it hidden from the general public. These networks provide an additional layer of security by being anonymous, making it more difficult for unauthorised users to try to connect to them.
