   How does Windows 10 handle manual & automatic switching between Internet   
   WiFi & Ethernet connections?   
      
   Does it automatically switch based on the best signal strength?   
   Or does it automatically switch based on some test speed?   
      
   If I want to manually change from one connection to the other, how do I do   
   that?

   # On a USB port, I have a $25 AC1200 TP Link "T4U" wifi dongle   
     (FCCID TE7T4U, IC 8853A-T4U) https://fccid.io/TE7T4U   
   # On the Ethernet port, I have an Ubiquiti Nanobeam M2 (802.11n)   
     (FCCID SWX-NBM2HP, IC 6545A-NBM2HP)   
      
   My two questions are   
   1. How does Windows automatically decide which to use?   
   2. How do I manually switch from one to the other?
