  1. How to change Ethernet network profile from public to private in Windows


    So Everything Ive Googled says go to settings --> network and internet --> Ethernet, then click on the Ethernet network name and change the toggle there. However, When i click on the Ethernet network name , all i get is Metered connection setting. Theres nothing about being able to find other PCs or making My pc discoverable. Ive seen that u should go the uac then change it to deafult and it should pop up as an option. However, it doesnt do it for me. Any help?

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below to

    • 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:

    • Use your interface index (for example 5) with this command:

    Change Network Profile to Private From Public

    Network Discovery and File and Printer sharing are already on for both the public and private profiles. Allow Windows to manage Homegroups is on for the private profile; it is not an option under public.
