[[cat-users]] Windows: disable connect to nonBroadcast SSID

Hello!

We can see in Windows 10 profile that nonBroadcast optioin is enabled/true (the option to connect to networks which do not broadcast their network name or SSID).
I have not verified other operating systems.

For security reasons, would it be possible to disable (false) this option in eduroam CAT?

You can verify this option with cmd -->
    netsh wlan show profiles name="eduroam"
    or
    netsh wlan export name="eduroam"
