  1. Windows 10 allow standard users to change network location from public to private.


    After many days to searching and trying other suggestions I am unable to find a solution to my problem.

    I am workings with windows 10 build 1803 & 1809.


    I have our systems set with an administrator account and a standard user account.

    Obviously when logged in under the Admin account everything works fine.

    When logged in under standard user account any new network connections default to public and I need to be able to give the user the ability to change network details and to private.


    Can anyone offer a solution to this problem ?

    :)

    Set Network Location to Private or Public in Windows 10  


    Hi Brink and thank you for the welcome Windows 10 allow standard users to change network location from public to private. :)

    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?
