    Private profile not being recognized with Advanced Sharing Settings


    I discovered a problem on one of my two Windows 10 Pro PCs (both with version 2004 installed) not recognizing the private profile setting in advanced sharing.

    When I have my WiFi or Ethernet connection set as Private, the Advanced Sharing Settings doesn't recognize that it is the current profile:

    My other PC detects it as a private profile automatically.

    However, if I change the WiFi or Ethernet connection to public, it is automatically recognized in Advanced Sharing Settings no problem:

    I have tried disabling/reenabling network discovery and also doing a complete Network Reset, but it's not resolving it.

    Anyone have any idea how to resolve this?

    :)

    Windows 7 advanced sharing settings not staying

    In Windows 7, I can't get my advanced sharing settings to stick. If I change something in the Home profile, the Public profile might change along with it, or it just won't stick at all.

    Main computer discovered on Public but not Private Profile

    Hi,
    I am running Windows 10 on two home computers. I have them networked together via ethernet cable to my ATT modem/router. If I make my Ethernet profile Public, both computers One and Two are present/discovered, but if I change the setting to Private, only computer Two is present. I have File and Printer sharing enabled for both Public and Private Profiles in Advanced Network Sharing settings, and I have File and Printer Sharing as allowed apps in Windows Defender Firewall. I also have the following services set to Automatic: DNS Client, Function Discovery Resource Publication, SSDP Discovery and UPnP Device Host. If possible, I would like to get both computers present while in Private Profile, but if that is not possible, can someone tell me if it's OK to run my network in Public Profile. Would this be safe given two home computers connected with Ethernet cables to a modem/router? Thanks.
