Windows 10: How can I choose an other network adapter setting on user login, automated from Powershell?

Edition to show this is a question.

Hi all,


We share a Windows 10 computer, my wife and I, with each our own account.

I have a VPN installed but my wife doesn't need it and she doesn't want to be left with my choice of country. And some native streaming apps change behavior when not at home. Depending on services and internet provider.


So I wish to have her network set to default. And mine back to my settings, when I log in.


For a next Windows version I would suggest private settings per account.

In the connections list show more adapter settings after b.e. installing a VPN client.

So for somebody with Powershell knowledge, this cannot be a big problem.

Probably, this has been made already. I could't find it.

I can imagine more are interested. This may be useful.


Who can help us with this?

For a next Windows version I would suggest private settings per account.

In the connections list show separate adapters after installing the VPN client.
