How to Change Network Profiles with PowerShell?

 

Change Network Profile Using PowerShell

The three network profiles in Windows 10 are:
  • Private: Computers on a private network can belong to a home group. Network discovery is turned on for private networks, which allows you to see other computers and devices on the network.
  • Public: Designed to keep your computer from being visible to other computers around you and to help protect your computer from any malicious software from the Internet.
  • Domain: It belongs to enterprise network. It’s controlled by network admin and can’t be selected and changed locally.
Change network profile using PowerShell in Windows 10.

1. Open PowerShell and run it as administrator. Then type “Get-NetAdapter” and press enter to see all network adapters.

3. To change Public network to Private network, simply type “Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceAlias Ethernet -NetworkCategory Private” and press enter.
