    Question about public and private profile on Windows 10


    Hi and good afternoon. Currently I got my Windows 10 PC network profile set to Public because I have family members at home using their own devices and I chose public profile on my PC so that its hidden and not discovarable by other devices on the network. But I was just wondering does choosing public network in windows 10 effect the connection speed of my computer or no? Also will other devices such as Firestick and Xbox also treat my network as public or is this setting in windows only relevant for the PC and the way PC behaves? Thanks

    :)
