Windows 10: Networking issues since upgrading to Win 10 1903. Public settings.

I had everything networking together and working great with Win 10 1809 prior to doing the upgrade. Now I'm experiencing some issues. All PC's have upgraded to 1903 and I don't see the other computer PC2 on my main computer which I'll call PC1. But on PC 2 I'll see PC1 under network and if I click on it I'll see the users folder and if I click that I see nothing in it. I go into advanced sharing settings and turn off public folders is checked off so I turn it on and save the setting. I reboot try again and keep getting the exact same thing. I go back to advanced sharing settings again and turn off public is checked off again. I turn it on again and save it. Bottom line is that I cannot get the setting to save with turn on public folders. It keeps reverting to turn off public folders setting. Am I doing something wrong or is this a glitch with Win 10 1903. Why can't I see PC2 on PC1 but I can see vice versa. Has anyone else had these types of issues with Win 101903?

As far as Wifi any chance it is Qualcom inside USB adapter, if Qualcom then yes known issue.


I might create another user (Local) and when if try again see if this issue occurs on both users.

Would also suggest you run the first 5 steps in this tutorial to see if you have any corruption with current build.

Public Network

It's good to know that you have already contacted your service provider. This helps us to further isolate the issue. Before we can conclude that a hacker has gotten into your computer and making changes to the system, we need to identify first, whether or
not this is a system issue. There are other Windows 10 users, although not common, who are experiencing the same issue as you and found different resolutions that you can try. Try the methods below and check if it helps:

• Click on Start.

Set Network Location to Private or Public in Windows 10  

Hi Brink and thank you for the welcome

I tried what you suggested but when doing this, i noticed that whenever i am connected to my VPN, the Windows network shows up as "unidentified network" instead of network 1,2,3 or whatever. So when i went into regedit and looked for networks, i found some but none called unidentified.
There was one network with the value 0 so i changed it to 1 (private) but after checking, my VPN connection still shows as public.

I am not really sure why it says unidentified network in Windows when i am connected to the VPN but it seems that this is the cause for the problem. If i could only find the VPN network in the list of networks in regedit, i think i would be able to change the value to 1.

Hmm..not sure how to proceed with this. Any ideas?
