如果您使用笔记本电脑来满足日常需求，并且您随身携带笔记本电脑并每天连接到不同的网络^(Networks)，当您诊断网络设备的某些问题时，这可能会让您在网络^(Networks)和共享中心感到困惑。^(Sharing)网络是最困难的部分之一，尤其是因为您要处理许多可能具有相同 SSID 的设备和连接。大多数时候Windows只是将连接命名为Local Area Network 1，或者只是Network 1、Network 5、Network 6，这可能很难确定哪个是你的Office，哪个是你的家^(Home)，你朋友的家等。

今天我们将向您展示如何在Windows 10/8/7中更改或重命名网络配置文件名称；有两种方法可以做到这一点。第一个恰好是通过Registry Editor，第二个恰好是通过 Local Security Policy Editor。

首先，您需要知道网络的名称！

• 打开 Windows 11 设置
• 开放网络和互联网
• 打开要更改名称的以太网或 Wi-Fi 连接^(Ethernet)
• 您将看到它的名称显示在顶部

记下来。

重命名或更改活动网络配置文件^{(Change Active Network Profile)}名称

通过注册表编辑器

运行regedit以启动注册表编辑器。

前往注册表^(Registry)编辑器中的以下位置：

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles

如果您看到几个不同的GUID^(GUIDs)，则必须单击其中的每一个并选择ProfileName字符串值。在我上面的例子中，你会看到AndroidAP 2。

要将配置文件^(Profile)名称更改为您想要的名称，请双击ProfileName字符串值并将其值更改为您想要的名称。

完成上述所有步骤后，网络^(Network)名称将更改为您需要的名称。

通过本地安全策略

如果您的Windows版本附带本地组^{(Local Group)}或安全策略编辑器^{(Security Policy Editor)}，那么您可以运行secpol.msc来启动本地安全策略编辑器^{(Local Security Policy Editor)}。

单击左侧面板中的网络列表管理器策略^{(Network List Manager Policies)}。

您将在右窗格中获得所有不同的网络名称。^{(Network Names)}双击^{(Double-click)}要更改其名称的名称。

在打开的属性^(Properties)窗口中，选择名称并输入您想要的名称。

完成后关闭本地安全策略^{(Security Policy)}。

更改网络^(Network)名称可能包括将网络名称更改为具有简单含义的网络名称，例如College WiFi、Coaching Wifi、Home Wifi、Mobile Wifi、Café Wifi、Bus Wifi，这将使您与它们的连接变得简单。

If you are using a laptop for your daily needs аnd you travеl аlong with your laptop and connect to dіfferent Networks daily, which might becomе confusing for you іn the Netwоrks and Sharing center while you are diagnosing some issue wіth your network devices. Networking is оne of the toughest parts еspecially sinсe you are dealing with a number of deviceѕ and connections which might have the same SSID’s. Most of the time Windows just nameѕ the connections аs Lоcal Area Network 1, or just Netwоrk 1, Network 5, Network 6 which might be difficult to figure out which is of your Office, which is of уour Home, your friend’s home, etc.

Today we will show you how to change or rename the network profile names in Windows 10/8/7; there are two methods to do the same. The first one happens to be via Registry Editor and the second one happens to be via Local Security Policy Editor.

First, you will need to know the name of the Network!

• Open Windows 11 Settings
• Open Network & Internet
• Open the Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection whose name you want to change
• You will see its name displayed at the top

Note it down.

Rename or Change Active Network Profile Name

Via Registry Editor

Run regedit to launch the Registry Editor.

Head to the following location in the Registry Editor:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles

If you see several different GUIDs then you will have to click on each one of them and select the ProfileName string value. In my case above you will see AndroidAP 2.

To change the Profile Name with the one you want to double-click on the ProfileName string value and change its value to the one you want.

Once you follow all the above steps, the Network name will be changed to the one you needed.

Via Local Security Policy

If your Windows version ships with the Local Group or Security Policy Editor, then you may Run secpol.msc to launch the Local Security Policy Editor.

Click on the Network List Manager Policies in the left panel.

You will get all the different Network Names in the right pane. Double-click on the one whose name you want to change.

In the Properties window that opens, select Name and write the name you want.

Close the Local Security Policy once you are done.

Changing the Network name might include changing the network name to one with a simple meaning like, College WiFi, Coaching Wifi, Home Wifi, Mobile Wifi, Café Wifi, Bus Wifi which will make it simple for you to connect with them.
