How Do I Add a Trusted Network Location in Windows 11?

Published in Windows 1 min read

You can add a trusted network location in Windows 11 to ensure that your computer has the appropriate security settings for that specific network. Here's how:

  1. Open Settings: Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app.
  2. Go to Network & Internet: Click on Network & internet in the left-hand menu.
  3. Select Wi-Fi or Ethernet: Choose the network type you want to trust, either Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
  4. Click on Advanced Network Settings: Click on the Advanced network settings option at the bottom of the screen.
  5. Select Private: Under Network Profile, choose the Private option.

Once you've selected Private, your computer will treat this network as a trusted location, allowing you to access files and applications with greater ease.

Note: You can also change the network profile to Public for networks you don't trust, which will apply stricter security measures.
