Default Switching between Internet connections WiFi & Ethernet
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?

# I have a desktop with no WiFi card.
# On a USB port, I have a $25 AC1200 TP Link "T4U" wifi dongle

# 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?
