can't connect to network with md5-password on windows 10

Windows 7, 8, and 10 cannot use MD5 authentication at all for any network connection (the option has been removed from the os on all network types), it is very insecure and is not suitable for any wireless connection.  There are times where you must use MD5 though, it is still the only option for many embedded type of devices on a wired network (such as an ip phone or similar type of device).  Usually in this case it is on a wired network and is not reasonably prone to snooping so serves as a suitable safeguard against the port becoming active on the switch.

For wireless? You can't. Not even sure it can be used for wired any more.

It's not a sensible choice these days anyway.
