Problem - wireless network disabled when wired network is connected.

I have a wireless network used for internet access and also connect to a restricted wired network for printer access.

In windows 10, the wired ethernet immediately disables the wireless connection when plugged in. When unplugged, the wireless connection is immediately restored.

The network is set up properly when comparing to the steps in the Change The Connection Priority in Windows 8.1, Windows 8 or Windows 7 instructions. For network priority, the wireless connection is listed first, the ethernet is listed second.

The wired ethernet cannot be used for internet access.

I had no problem with Windows 7 with this set up.

How can I configure Widows 10 to prioritize and maintain the wireless connection and have the wired ethernet active simultaneously?
