    The following error pops up when trying to access the drive ; an error occurred while reconnecting to drive name, Microsoft Windows network: the local device name is already in use. The connection has not been restored.

    home network changed to public network with Windows 10

    I recently changed my OS to Windows 10 via the free upgrade. My network, while with Windows 8.1, was a home network. Now it is listed as a public network. My Kaspersky Total security software keeps sending messages that this is a public network. How does
    one go about changing the network back to a home network in Windows 10.

    Can not connect to our office networking (main sever also upgraded to Window 10)

    Original Title: networking

    recently just upgraded from Window 7 pro to Window 10. Unfortunately, after upgrading to Window 10, my PC can not connect to our office networking (main sever also upgraded to Window 10). Before that, all the PC can connect and sharing each other. Can
    you provide me the step and how to solve the problem.

    Thank you in advance. Looking forward to your reply.

    Best regards,

    Amy

    Public Network

    Hi Deb

    My name is Andre Da Costa; an Independent Consultant, Windows Insider MVP and Windows & Devices for IT MVP. I'm here to help you with your problem.

    If you recently visited a coffee shop or cyber cafe or connected to a wi-fi network in a park, Windows 10 might have assumed you are on a Public network.

    You can easily change your network profile using the following steps:

    https://www.groovypost.com/howto/change-network...

    or

    Click Start

    Type: powershell

    Right click powershell

    Click Run as administrator

    Type the following at the command prompt then hit Enter:

    Get-NetConnectionProfile

    This command will list the profiles and from which you need to find the index number

    Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex 1 -NetworkCategory Private

    Where 1 is the index number of the profile to change so it might be a different number other than 1 on your system.
