Problem
For exacqVision systems running Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB, the network policy will default to “Public” if the only network connection does not have a Gateway, or is not attached to a Domain.
<br>
Cause
This is due to the Network Location Awareness not being able to identify the network.
<br>
Resolution
NOTE: This fix will permanently change all unidentified connections to “Private”.
1. Log in to the OS with a Admin level user.
2. Open the Command Prompt, selecting “Yes” on the UAC prompt, type the following command, then click “Enter”.
gpedit.msc
3. Navigate to: “Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Network List Manager Policies”
4. Double-click on “Unidentified Networks” and select “Private” under “Location type”.
5. Click “OK”, close the “Local Group Policy Editor” and Command Prompt.
