    Thank you for the screenshots you have provided. Based on the images you shared, we can see that you don't have to option to change network locations, therefore, not allowing you to make any changes to your network. What we need to know now is if it is specific
    to the user account that you're using or if it's with the network that you have. Try creating another user account and recreate what you're trying to do. If the issue persists on another user account, then there must be something wrong with the network itself.

    You may refer to this article for steps on
    how to create a user account in Windows 10.

    Kindly get back to us with the outcome. We'll keep an eye out for your response.

    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:

    Method 1: Change the network location using the Settings App.

    • Click on Start.
    • Click on Settings.
    • Click on Network & Internet.
    • Click on Ethernet.
    • Click on the network where you're connected.
    • Turn on the option to Make this PC discoverable. This turns your public network location into a private one.

    Method 2: Change the network location using Windows PowerShell.

    We have a found a thread with a similar issue to yours. Check the Answer provided by
    NiklasE rlhm in this thread and check if it applies.
    Other Community members have found it helpful.

    Method 3: Refresh network adapter connections in Device Manager.

    You may follow the steps provided in this article. Note that the steps in the article
    are supposedly for Windows 7, but should still work with Windows 10, although, the step-by-step provided might be a bit different.

    Should you encounter any further issues, please do get back to us.
