It seems like you are facing an issue with setting up your LAN connection on Windows and encountering difficulties in changing the network type to Home Network, resulting in an "Unidentified Network" status. Let's address your concerns step by step:

Issue 1: Unable to Change Network to Home Network​

When Windows automatically assigns your LAN connection to an "Unidentified Network," it typically restricts network discovery and sharing. To change the network type to Home Network and resolve the issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Set Network Location to Home Network:
   • Press Win + I to open Settings.
   • Go to Network & Internet > Ethernet.
   • Click on the network connection.
   • Under Network Profile, select "Private" for the Home Network.
   []Change Network Category via Control Panel:
   • Press Win + R, type control and hit Enter.
   • Go to Network and Sharing Center.
   • Click on the network connection.
   • Click on the "Customize" option and select "Home network."
   []Reset Network Components:
   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
   • Enter the following commands one by one and press Enter after each:

      netsh int ip reset ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew

     Issue 2: Unknown Service Tag in Task Manager​

     The string you provided seems like a Service ID, rather than a service name you'd find in Task Manager. To identify and manage services correctly, you need the service name. If you suspect a service is causing network issues, you can check and manage services in Windows Services.
   []Check Services:
   • Press Win + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.
   • Look for services related to networking, such as "Network Location Awareness," "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper," or others.
   []Disable Unwanted Services:
   • Right-click on the service, go to Properties.
   • If the service's startup type is set to Automatic, you can change it to Manual or Disabled if unnecessary. If you're unable to find the exact service causing issues, please provide more details or check third-party services that might interfere with network settings. Feel free to try these steps and let me know if you need further assistance!
