But this is a bad dialog because it looks like a Sophie's Choice. One technique is to go to Network within Windows Explorer and try to get this yellow bar to show up.Ĭlicking on it will give you a choice that isn't clear to Non-Technical Family Member.
I hit this issue probably once a month where I can't figure out why I can't see this machine over Remote Desktop, and it's because it thinks I'm on a Public Network.
The most common reason to want Windows to treat the current network as a Private Network is so you can have someone connect to your machine, either share files over SMB, or connect via Remote Desktop (RDP). There's lots of posts on the internet explaining how, but most are pretty complex with a lot of steps. Basically it comes down to a question of "do I mostly trust this network?" However, it's never been totally obvious how to change this back and forth. A while back Windows introduced this concept of public networks and private networks.
