While Windows 7 allowed you to select a network profile while connecting to a network, Windows 10 doesn’t do so anymore. If you run into issues because of a public network profile you need to make some adjustments in the registry.
- Open the registry editor by pressing Win+R and entering regedit
- navigate to the path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ NetworkList\ Profiles\ <profile number>
- Adjust the value of the entry Category to your liking
- 0 = public
- 1 = private
- 2 = domain
0 - 0

In Win 7 64 bit, before Windows (Monthly Rollup) August 14, 2018—KB4343900, you could use Regedit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles
to delete your profile list.. but after KB4343900 you can not.
