eduroam cheat sheet
To uninstall the CAT (Configuration Assistant Tool) installer from eduroam on Windows 10
PS:
The CAT installer itself usually configures the network and installs certificates but does not stay as a running application, so it often doesn’t show up in Programs
Remove eduroam from Windows

Method 1: Using Windows Settings (Recommended)
Uninstalling the eduroam CAT Installer Configuration
Step 1: Forget the eduroam Wi-Fi Network
This removes saved credentials and the network profile.
Open Settings → Network & Internet.
Go to Wi-Fi → Manage known networks.
Find and click on eduroam → Select Forget.
Method 2: Certificate Cleanup (if needed)
Step 2: Remove the eduroam CAT Certificates (Optional but recommended)
Press Win + R, type certmgr.msc, and press Enter.
In Certificates – Current User, expand Trusted Root Certification Authorities → click Certificates.
Look for any certificates related to eduroam, your institution, or the CAT installer (e.g., GEANT OV RSA CA 4, etc.).
Right-click on them and choose Delete (only if you’re sure they are related to eduroam or your institution's CAT installer).
You may also check Personal → Certificates for user-specific ones.
For Local Machine (Admin Required):
Run certlm.msc (as administrator: right-click Command Prompt and select "Run as administrator").
Follow the same steps as above to remove certificates.
Method 3: Manual Wi-Fi Profile Removal (Optional but recommended)
If the installer created Wi-Fi profiles that weren't removed:
Open Command Prompt as Administrator
Type: netsh wlan show profiles
Find any eduroam profiles listed
Remove them with: netsh wlan delete profile name="ProfileName"
Restart Your Computer
Reboot to ensure all changes take effect.
