Sometimes a Windows Update or outside process will change your Network from a Private to Public Network. This will often result in poor performance among other issues. So... if performance has always been good but suddenly is not, this is a possible explanation.
These steps describe how to change the network profile from Public to Private.
- From the Start Menu, type "ISE" and the following options will appear. (It is best to avoid the x86 option).
- Right-click and select 'Run as administrator'
- Copy and paste the following line of code into the opened prompt then press enter.
Set-NetConnectionProfile -NetworkCategory Private
- Your firewall settings will now be set to private.
Administrative access is required to perform this task.
- From the Start Menu, type "secpol.msc" and open the console document.
- Select Network List Manager Policies
- Right click on the network and select Properties.
- From Network Location, set the Location Type to Private.
Please contact your IT provider if you are not able to check or modify these settings.
