Permanently Stop Windows 11 from Changing Network Profile Settings After Update

This absolutely DOES NOT "permanently' change the network profile to "Private." This is an utterly worthless answer. This is the kind of answers that make us hate Microsoft's support. It is the easy, non-answer, that looks like an answer so your boss is happy, but absolutely ignores the actual problem.

Agreed. Why is my private personal home network, keep changing back to public, and changing the settings? I know if actually cared any more, might participate. I look at it this way, 30 f-ing years of buggy ****, unreliable as hell, Micrsoft. Enough of this BS. 30 years since win95, no excuse anymore.

Is there a way to permanently stop Windows 11 changing network profile settings after updates. The amount of times I have had to fix clients scanning issues because password protected sharing has been turned back on or the network profile has been changed to public is annoying. Is there a way to permanently set the network profile settings so that when an update is done it doesn't break connections to printers or local shares.

I know this is a Windows 11 issue for many people. But exactly the same has been happening on each of my Windows 10 PCs, on my home (therefore private) cabled network for years, each time there's a significant Windows update. It's always been an issue for some users of Windows 10. And Windows 11, which is exactly the same under the hood, is just a continuation of it. So there is no way that Microsoft haven't known about the issue for years.
The Network Settings always show the profile to be private and file sharing is switched on, but the PC is hidden from the other PCs on the network, as well as hidden from itself. So despite what the settings show immediately following a Windows update, the network has actually been set to "public", and file sharing actually switched off. This indicates something is broken.
I know the solution to correct it each time is very simple, and very tedious. Just do a network "reset" in Windows "Network & Internet" settings, and restart the computer. Then, on restart, the change Network Profile properties (which are now shown as "Public") to "Private", and manually turn on file sharing.
Microsoft has time and money to spend on useless cosmetic changes to the user interface, and hiding useful tools. But something like fixing a problem that has been causing updates to regularly break network settings for years... that seems to be above everyone's overinflated pay grade. How is it possible that no-one at Microsoft thinks this isn't a good look?

I always have the network profile changed to private. Metered connection is always turned off. I have password protected sharing turned off as well. However, after certain updates Windows changes the connection back to public for wifi connections as well as for both public and private it turns back on password protected sharing.

Exactly. I never got any single issue fixed from MS tech support answers. I always get it working from the stack overflow or some other forums. Interestingly , the search engines always bring this piece of s**t in the top for any windows related questions.
