    After the Dec 1017 update of Windows 10, my home network comes up as "Public" instead of "Private", and I cannot see other computers on my home network. Why did the update change my settings, and how do I fix this?

    Hi,

    I don't know the reason why the update changed your settings.
    Please try the following steps.

    (1) [Windows] key + [R] > type "ms-settings:network-status" and [Enter]
    (2) Select [Change connection properties] in Network status (in Settings app)
         
    (3) Turn [Private] to ON
         

    Regards,
