About this tag
The private public network settings tag covers a Windows 10 and Windows 11 tutorial for choosing between Public and Private network profiles. It explains how these profiles affect your PC’s visibility and how Network Discovery controls whether Windows can find other devices on the network. The guidance is especially useful when switching between trusted connections, such as home Wi-Fi where printer or device sharing may be appropriate, and public networks in coffee shops or airports where keeping the computer hidden is safer. This tag provides practical, beginner-friendly steps for adjusting network profile and discovery settings to balance convenience, device sharing, and security.
