Tip: changing Public network to Private network
Hi All,
If you accidentally click Public when you wanted Private on a new network adapter and have googled your ass off trying to set it back and found that the places to set it back are missing, here is my what I finally came up with. Let me know is you want any screen shots of the missing stuff. I will hold on to it for a couple of hours. -T Windows Ten: Change Public to Private network Reference: https://www.itechtics.com/change-net...pe-windows-10/ Before 1909: -- Settings -- Network & Internet -- Status (left column) Will show the connectin type -- Ethernet or WiFi (left column) 1909+: -- regedit -- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -- SOFTWARE -- Microsoft -- Windows NT -- CurrentVersion -- NetworkList -- Profiles Dig out your network adapter from the list of profiles (GUIDs) -- Category (DWORD) 0 = Public network 1 = Private network 2 = for Domain network -- reboot |

Hi Alan, That is for a WiFi network and yes I saw that. This was for an Ethernet connection. The same applies for both, but the essential dialog is missing. So I can update my documentation. I would appreciate it if you were to pour over my findings below and let me know where I went wrong. I could be blind and the necessary parts could be right under my nose. It has happened before. Please include the build numbers you tested on. Okay, here goes: Under settings, network, Ethernet (same place your link takes you to), this is what it is suppose to look like: https://i2.wp.com/www.techjunkie.com...90%2C474&ssl=1 This is what two machines 1909 and 2004 gave me: https://ibb.co/MN21PCP Skips right over the "metered Connection". Using powershell as administrator, asking for network connections profiles should have gave me: https://www.itechtics.com/wp-content...ng:webp/ngcb31 But instead the same two machines gave me: https://ibb.co/7XZVCqx No profiles were located. Not much better with secpol.msc on the same two machines either: Should have: https://www.itechtics.com/wp-content...twork-type.jpg Actual: https://ibb.co/Wn8mmy5 Again the profile was missing. So I was relegated to using the registry. There I found the UUIDs. Many thanks, -T |

The how to's I came across had me going to Settings--Network and Internet--Ethernet So 1909/2004 moved the Network Profile from Ethernet to the Status, Properties page. Thank you! At least I know how to do it with the registry now. -T |
