    I know this sounds stupid, but can anyone guide me over how to view the connected network's password on windows 10?

    Run > enter "control netconnections" (without the quotations) > right click the wifi adapter > status > wireless properties > security tab > show characters

    Win Key + R and
    control /name Microsoft.NetworkAndSharingCenter
    or this
    explorer.exe shell:::{8E908FC9-BECC-40f6-915B-F4CA0E70D03D}
    or this
    control ncpa.cpl
    or simply (also works, at least on Windows 10)
    ncpa.cpl
