Windows 10: WIndows11 network shared connections need to re-share after the interface is down

i am using windows11 and i am sharing a connection to another computer, the host which is sharing the lan interface got a problem, which is like this: if the computer is rebooted or the shared lan interface is shutted down and brought up again, i have to open that interface's configuration window and stop the sharing and start the sharing, completely manually re-share it again.i think this is a bug to befixed because if the interface is not at sharing status, why it shows "shared" indication on that interface?can this be fixed?windows 11 23H2 newest version .

Sharing network connection


Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone is having issues with sharing their internet connection with other devices after a recent update to Windows 10. After installing KB3176936 and KB3176934, I am unable to share my network. My current setup has my laptop connected to the home Wi-Fi and then sharing that Wi-Fi connection through the ethernet port on my laptop to my Raspberry Pi 2. Before the update, I was able to set my home network as public and network sharing would still work. Now I need to change it to Private first before the network can be shared. The issue I have with this though is that it creates a network from my laptop named "DIRECT-WR[computer name here]" which I don't want to show up in network lists. Anyway to set my network to private without creating that other network? Or to share it without setting my Wi-Fi connection as private? Thanks.
