View 8 RepliesNetworking :: Change All Connected Networks To Private Instead Of Public
Jan 31, 2016Is there a way I can change all connected networks to private instead of public with a click-able script? The problem was that a User was connected to an open network using a VPN which then also connected showing Public. With both as Public, they could not map to a network resource. I fixed it using the "go to home-groups and change network settings, etc." But surely there is a way it could be handled with a simple script to edit same? End result was the VPN showed private while the open WiFi he connected to still showed public but he could access the server now.
View 1 RepliesNetworking :: Windows Will Not Stop Changing Network Location To Public
Jan 25, 2016I have been fighting this problem ever since Windows 7. Every time I try to access my computer from another device on my network, I find I am unable to connect. I go into the Ethernet settings, and see that Make This PC Discoverable is turned off. If I switch it on, go back, and then immediately open the settings again , it is switched off again. When I look at my Network and Sharing Center, my network is set to Public network.
The only way I've been able to successfully set it to Private and keep the Make This PC Discoverable setting turned on is to change the Category setting in the registry for my network to 1. It works, and I'm able to do whatever it was I wanted to do over the network. But then the next time I want to access my PC from my LAN again, same thing.I have tried all the suggestions I can find, most of which are mentioned here: Network Location - Set to Private or Public in Windows 8.Nothing prevents it from going back to Public again after a while.This is incredibly frustrating as it completely defeats the purpose of having a local area network!
Network Keeps Changing Back To Public - Switch To Private Not Staying Intact
Aug 5, 2015Any way to switch Windows 10's WiFi network type to Private and make it to stay like that? I can even manage to switch from Public to Private using a small trick, but some time later, it will switch back to Public network!
View 3 RepliesNetworking :: Turning Off Password Protected Sharing On Private Network?
Nov 6, 2015I have a Windows 10 PC, with one of it's functions being that of a file server/NAS for my home network. I set it up with password protected sharing and a user account/password that everyone knows and uses to access it. I didn't really have any reason to use password protected sharing at the time, but it was the default so I left it.
Now I have a couple of network streaming devices that can't handle password protected sharing, so I was considering turning it off. Is there any reason not to turn off password protected sharing on a private network? Obviously I don't mind everyone on the network having access, but I was wondering if it had any other potential security benefits that I haven't thought of.

Can't Make Any Changes And Now Stuck On Public Network
Feb 21, 2016First I wanted to boot into Safe mode, but couldn't do that because the keyboard was not working in BIOS. To solve that I just removed the battery and left it out for around 10/15 minutes so that any residual power would be dissipated.
Once I managed to get into Safe mode I made some changes to my user account and added myself to the Aminstrators group. Then rebooted back into normal mode , where I could make changes and click on the YES button.
Finally onto the network problem of being stuck on a Public network. Now that I could open the properties box of the ethernet adapter , I saw that the 'Obtain the following IP address option was selected, but there was no IP address there. Once I changed that to 'Select automatically' solved the Public network problem as it was change back to Private Network automatically.
Networking :: How To Change Name And Password Of Network Connection
Mar 5, 2016I have just set up the "o2 HomeBox 6641".
How can one change the name of the network connection:
"WiFi" can be changed / renamed, but "o2-WLAN" cannot, I would like to rename it.
How / where can I change the WPA2 key, the password for the Internet connection?
And, do I need a password - there is no one else using the Notebook - to enter the program / GUI in the browser to change settings for the router?
Networking :: Won't Let To Change From Business To Home Network
Dec 19, 2015I run a business from home with four computers all running win 10. All was smooth and easy going until a recent round of updates where a couple of computers ended up changed from "home network "to "business network", leaving them unable to communicate with other computers on the network. When I found the problem on the first two computers it was easily solved by just changing them back and rebooting. Now the same problem has happened to all of them, but I'm unable to change it, in that every time I do, when I reboot it comes up saying its on a business network again.
View 5 RepliesNetworking :: Treat All Future Networks As Public Settings
Oct 3, 2015In Windows 7/8 there was a setting, a small checkbox "Treat all future networks as public and don't ask me again".
You can see it in this picture - [URL] .....
In my version of Windows 10, I don't appear to have that option. I could try deleting this registry key ...
HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetControlNetworkNetworkLocationWizard
Delete the key: HideWizard
Perhaps there's a simpler way than export, delete key, if wrong result import saved registry file. Have I missed a setting somewhere to set the network location?
Adding Network Location(s) Always Fails
Dec 9, 2015I only have this problem with Win10 Pro x64, regardless of the version/build numbers (v1511, build 10586.29 currently). After making a few connections to my network location that I add, in this case a WebDAV file server for school I use, Windows will eventually decide that the location doesn't exist anymore. If I remove the drive, and add it again via "Add a Network Location", no matter what address I enter, the location "...doesn't exist..." (click for image). The wizard will start, I give it an address, and after a few moments it tells me it cannot find the location, while the Windows Security box's bar is still moving from left to right trying to connect.
If I use a third-party program, it will work at first like above, but after I connect so many times after system shut downs, these programs will eventually stop working too (but they at least retain a cache so I can view my drive offline); this is because Windows Explorer decides again the location doesn't exist. If I decide to boot via my Win8.1 install, it works as I would expect it to. EDIT: A few days later I tried one of the 3rd party ones (MountainDuck for example) and it's working again. I imagine it will eventually quit again though like before.
I've done everything I can think of to rule it out including:
Disable AV suite & protection/defense components
Make sure any networking related services are running
Use DMZ on router briefly to rule it out
Using Windows Troubleshooter
Disable firewall
chkdsk (via my USB copy)
DISM repairs via my install.wim file
Run system repair (via my USB copy)
Interesting enough, this is a relatively clean install. My first Win10 install had huge problems with the v1151 update, so I formatted and installed Win10 v1511 right. This problem, exactly the same, occurred with my first install too, eventually just ceasing to work like now. Whereas I'd expect the problem to start after I installed some program or service, it always happens a few weeks later out of the blue, when nothing new has been installed that could explain why it stopped working (or at least to me).
At this point, I'm lost and don't know if this can be fixed, or if this is another problem to add to the list of "Windows 10 killed networking in general".
I've attached a CBS log, but importing my install.wim file doesn't change it, nor does it probably change my login background which I know also makes the system find errors.

View 6 RepliesAccounts :: Change Default Location For New Users
Feb 10, 2016In previous versions of Windows, a quick registry hack has let me create my main user (after the one in C:Users created when installing Windows) in E:Users rather than C:Users.
This is the method I've used before:
Use Regedit to navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionProfileList
and alter ProfilesDirectory, in my case to E:Users.
Does this works in W10, or will I be a path-finder?
