Wireless broken on host machine?

I'm new to VMWare Workstation, any advise would be helpful.

I installed VMWare Workstation 12 on a brand new installation of Windows 10. Then I created a VM for Cisco VIRL and added four VMNets (1-4) per the VIRL instructions.

Now when I try to connect to wireless with my host machine, I'm unable to do so. Above my wireless networks that are available, it lists "VMWare Network Adapter VMNet1" as if its trying to use that adapter to connect to wireless.

If I disable the VMWare adapters under my host machines network adapters, the problem goes away. For some reason this does not apply to my wired connection, that works fine. I've tried re-ordering the windows adapter preferences and moving Wifi to the top, for some reason it doesn't save - not sure if that's a Windows 10 problem or what.

Any ideas?
