Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

“Forget this network” means you would like not to connect to the same network that you connect to each day without entering the password (if password protected) when you connected for the first time.

If you select “Forget this network”, yes you can re-join. However, you will re-join the same network just like you would join any network for the first time.

Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.

“Forget this network” means that is will no longer appear on the list, and it’s impossible to find it again. Wasn’t I clear about that the first time?
