    Change Network from Public to Private

    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below to
    change your network from Public to Private:


    • Type PowerShell in Search Window and then right click on it and click on
      Run as Administrator.

    • Type the following command to find your interface Index:
      Get-NetConnectionProfile

    • Use your interface index (for example 5) with this command:
      Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex 5 -NetworkCategory Private

    • Now reboot the device and check if the network has changed from Public to Private.
    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Network - Public or Private

    I want to change an ethernet network from public to private. In version 1703 this could be done by Settings > Network & Internet > Ethernet, then click on "connected" to get a page with the Metered Connection on/off switch and on that screen you could change
    a network from Public to Private or visa-versa. In version 1709 that option is not on that screen and I can't find it anywhere else.

    Does anyone know how to change an ethernet from public to private or v-v in Win 10 version 1709?
