Windows 10: Some updates reset the network and sharing center settings

Hello,

It has come to my attention that some or all (not sure) Windows updates reset the network and sharing center settings.

For example, if I have a small network configured to not be password protected and computers are sharing folders and files, whenever one of the computers get an update everything stops working and I have to change the password protection setting again.

Is there a reason for that to happen?

Is there a way to email the developers team to add this as a future improvement?


Hope I made my self clear and sorry for my rusty English.

Thanks

:)

Resetting the network settings may help reconfigure settings that may help resolve the issue. Since the issue still persists, we suggest checking the Advance sharing settings if network discovery is turned on. Follow the steps below:

• Open Control Panel.
  
• Click Network and Internet.
  
• Click Network and Sharing Center.
  
• Click Change advanced sharing settings in the left pane.
  
• Under the Private section, make sure that Turn on network discovery is selected.
  
• Click Save changes.
  

Get back to us with the outcome so we can help you further.
