  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.

    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.
