Win10 (1803) stuck in public mode

[RobertZ1966]

For some reson my win10 is now stuck in public mode and so the network HHD map to my nas drivers don't work any more.

I google how to change it back to private but when I hit the network connect icon as in..



I get a this..



With no option to change to public

I trying reseting the network.. delting all the driver under network and rebooting and even a reg hack and nothing works

you are in the wrong settings:

then you get this:

Try this:
settings

Network and Internet
Click the "WiFi" on the left column.
Scroll down and select "Change Advanced sharing options" (They are close to the bottom)

There you can change to public or back, or select Private, as you wish

I'm not using wifi, I'm runnign a cable

But it gives you a quick access to the sharing modes.

NAS is most certainly not my field, but would those you wish to share with not be on Wireless

Nope I get the same window, I did get into private mode, using a powershell command form...

The Nas show up in the network window under unspefided. I can click it and get into the control panel/web management interface. But if I try to map the HDD's it doesn't show up in the widnow and adding the address myself doesn't work. I can attach screenshoot of windows if you wish to see.

I have no idea if this is relevant::
I found, after a recent update, that, whilst I could use my printers across three computers, I could not actually see the other two computers.
I right clicked my Windows 10 partition, and selected "give access to" then "Advanced sharing", then "advanced sharing" again, in the next window. I ticked of the obvious item," share this folder", and I was back in business.
On one of the other laptops I had to renew my credentials, before the action too k place.

If your network was normal, you could do what Grizzly shows. if you can't, you need to check the IP addresses the system is uses. It needs to show an address consistent with your network and not some 169 number.

The NAS may be reachable by using it network path, like \\NasName\user
