    In Windows 10, how do I change the Network Name of my Local Area Connection? Do NOT suggest I run secpol.msc, because the Windows Run command says it can't find secpol.msc

  2. Windows 10; Network Name

    Hi,

    The Registry steps follower that resolved the issue.

    But could you tell us why it appears to select a network status name based on your past Wi-Fi network connections, and then applies it to your wired Ethernet connection?

    Thanks.

    Thank you for the update and I apologize for the late response.

    I suggest you to follow the steps and check if you are able to change the network name:

    1. Press the
    Windows + R keys and type
    secpol.msc, and press Enter.

    2. If prompted by
    UAC, then click/tap on Yes.

    3. In the left pane of Local Security Policy, click on
    Network List Manager Policies.

    4. In the right pane of
    Network List Manager Policies, double click on your current network name.

    5. In Network Properties, select
    Name and type the name you prefer.

    6. When finished, you can now close Local Security Policy.

    7. Restart the computer.
