- Open Powershell
- Type Get-NetConnectionProfile
- If you have only one network connection you can change the profile to private by typing:
Get-NetConnectionProfile | Set-NetConnectionProfile -NetworkCategory Private
- If you have multiple network interfaces and would like to change a specific adapter use the Interface Index Property like this:
Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex 3 -NetworkCategory Private
- You can then verify the change has taken place by running Get-NetConnectionProfile again:
How to change network profile to public
The same command also works to switch back to a public profile
Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex 3 -NetworkCategory Public

thank you for this tip. I have two almost identical Win2016 Server VMs, with similarly configured firewalls. The only difference in network settings was that one VM was Public and the other was Private; I have no idea how it got set up this way.
I was able to connect with Oracle tools from a remote host only to VM with Public network.
Changing network from Private to Public resolved Oracle connection problem from remote hosts on the second VM.
