Set IP Network Public/Private In Win 10 With Powershell

Microsoft appears to have changed AGAIN where you change a network profile from Public to Private or the opposite. I just ran into this on a student laptop with WiFi issues.

 

The Powershell command set to switch it follows:

 

Public or Private network via Powershell:

 

"Open an administrator PowerShell by searching "powershell" in the start menu, right clicking it and selecting "Run as administrator", or by using the win+x shortcut and selecting "Windows PowerShell (Admin)"

 

Then in PowerShell type (or copy+paste)

 

Set-NetConnectionProfile -Name "put your network name here" -NetworkCategory Private

 

If you aren't sure, you can get the name of your network with

 

Get-NetConnectionProfile

 

You can replace "Private" with "Public" to make a network public. This method changes the network type immediately, and does not require you to restart anything or even log out."

Could a Tech Collaboration Tool Fix Dysfunctional Governments?

" There will be a ton of Azure announcements during the week: new servers, a vastly more powerful Azure Global Network, business intelligence, and SQL. What caught my eye was a product that's free (at least initially) -- a new version of Microsoft Teams. I think Teams could be a foundational way to fix governments in general, with a little extra help from artificial intelligence. "
