Windows 7 network location is not optional? Microsoft helps you fix

  

I don't know if Windows 7 users have encountered such a 尴尬—— want to change the location of the current network connection in the network and sharing center, but found that the corresponding location connection is not optional, Therefore, it is locked in the public network mode, and cannot be changed to a home network or an office network.

In fact, this is not something wrong with Windows 7, but the lack of design settings. If you have chosen a public network for a network connection and checked the option below, "I will treat all the networks I connect to in the future as a public network, and don't want me to ask", congratulations. The problem above is coming.

Obviously, this option for Windows 7 is for the convenience of the user, but once selected, it is difficult to go back: the network connection defaults to the shared network, then you can not open this dialog box, then Naturally this option cannot be cancelled.

To this end, Microsoft has given two solutions through KB article KB2578723: First, download a small Fix It repair tool, click “Next” to automatically restore after running; Second, disable, Re-enable the way to restore the network card, the master who likes DIY can view the official tutorial (English).
