    This fix does NOT resolve the problem for me.  I see evidence of lots of people having this problem and it has been an issue since the Windows 7 RC.  There does not seem to be a universally accepted solution either.  I believe this needs to be re-examined by Microsoft.  Thank you.

    This appears to be a flaw. I too, have been unable to resolve the issue. I can change back to work network, but after a few minutes the connection changes back to public. This is an option that needs to have the ability to modify. Users mistakenly choose public network and there are no options to reverse.

    I am having the same problem and I have not found a solution to it. It is very very irritating and needs to be re-examined in detail by Microsoft. There should always be options to reverse a selection.

    Is there still no fix for this?

    I'm having the same problem. I've deleted the network. I've disabled the adapter. I've tried all of the Microsoft stated suggestions and none of them work. This was working fine about a month or so ago and now it's as if it can't help but stay on the "Public Network" profile. Any change lasts under a minute before it's back on the Public profile.

    Anyone have a fix for this issue? There is a bug in windows 7 but the fix does not work.

    neither the 'fix it for me' or the 'fix it myself' "fixes" work. being able to connect to the internet is the reason Microsoft exists, yet they have allowed this issue to remain unaddressed. I suppose we should all be grateful that the recommended fix isn't a Win8 upgrade. thanks for nothing, yet again, Microsoft.

    I'm quite sure Microsoft knows the meaning of the phrase "class action." This "bug" is a latent defect for which warranty periods are irrelevant. The FixIt or the manual approach does not fix it. This tiny issue of how to make a network setting stay as a home or work group rather than persistently reverting to public is a major problem. There are thousands of pages in blogs, discussion groups, and forums, regarding how to repair this glitch. It is impossible to diagnose and repair the manifold ways this bug manifests itself without first being able to just change the stupid setting. I cannot maintain my intranet ethernet connected access to my desktop pc because my wireless internet interferes and causes the intranet adapter/location to revert whereupon my pc icon disappears. The only way to get it back is to shut everything down for a full clean Start. I suspect and cannot eliminate the possibility that if my location didn't change this problem wouldn't occur. I cannot check this because I cannot do the simple tiny change of setting my network location and making it stay. This is not some obscure technical problem affecting only a few computer nerds. This is a known issue about which people have been screaming as far back as 2009. AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED! Is it really going to take a lawsuit?!

    Tried the fix suggested by Microsoft today and it worked just as ineffectually as others are reporting here (ie it did nothing to fix the problem). Howcome Microsoft are offering zero support here?
