Windows 11 connecting to public WiFi - too many captive portal tabs

After upgrading to Windows 11, when I am trying to connect some public WiFi with captive portals (as I am now on an airplane), the system keeps opening captive portal tabs even after logging in sucessfully, or in many cases, preventing me from completing the login process altogether at the first place.

This seems to be happening to other people as well with no clear solutions other than restarting/re-enabling WiFi:

  1. https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/11lii62/windows_11_captive_portal_opens_in_a_loop
  2. https://www.reddit.com/r/fortinet/comments/11dg14r/fortigate_captive_portal_opening_automatically/

Is there a fix for this issue? Alternatively, is it possible to simply disable automatic captive portal detection for one or all networks?
