Thread: WINDOWS 10 What do you think

How do one change the name of an ethernet connection in Win10?
The first connection to my LAN happened to be via wifi and the connection got the same name as the wifi access point.
When changing to a wired connection then the connection name is still the same..
I fixed it with regedit (hi butters!) after not finding a place to change it in "Network & Internet Settings"
How is this intended to be done?

One doesn't.

One just looks at the icon to determine if one is connected via wire or wifi and stops pissing about with trivial, pointless shit.

ah finally a challenge

have you tried clicking on the connection icon, and then trying to edit the name or right-click "rename" if it's there

but regedit is the best way, regedit forever !!!

One might be connected to more than one LAN and therefore wants the connection name to reflect which LAN is which.
My LAN connections were named "CAT Fibre" and "3BB VDSL" in Win7 and I set those names in Win7 myself by editing the connection properties. Yes, I'm using 2 ISP's at the same time.

Win10 is shite, I've just found that I am not allowed to copy files into subfolders of "Program Files" because they are owned by the fuckwit "TrustedInstaller".
I elevated Administrators right to highest by allowing everything but TrustedInstaller is stronger.. Only way to get control over my files seems to be kicking TrustedInstaller from owning the folders and files and give ownership to administrators instead.
Windows has inherited the Apple user friendliness bug where you have to be a real idiot in order to use it.

Yes, you're fucking around, you're going to break it, and then you're going to come here and ask for help.

Just stop fucking about and save us all the fucking trouble eh?

Actually, better still take all your advice from Buttplug.

See you in a month when you get back online.

I'll just boot into one of the three linux distros instead.
This was fucked up from the beginning without me doing anything, Windows Update looping between updating, update fail, reboot, uninstall, reboot for two Cumulative Windows updates.
This problem is mentioned all over the net but MS has not been able to come up with a simple reliable solution.
Start from beginning with a new install seems to work for many but not all.
It's shite, outsourced Indian shite..

Yet I've been on Win10 since the first beta and never had these problems.

It's fools like you all over the net that don't know what you are doing, tinker with it and fuck it up.

And a monkey can install Linux. FFS even Buttplug can do it and he's a complete idiot.

welcome to the new computing world, the facebook generation, a world of idiots made by clueless Windows idiots like Harry

That's two gormless idiots on this thread that go playing with Regedit because they haven't got a fucking clue, then.

this is rich, an Indian call center boy claiming that an IT expert has no clue

oh the fooking irony, harry

I am working on your case LOM, I will have a solution in no time, with regedit of course

don't pay attention to that clueless wanker of harry, he needs to do a search in Win10 control panel for even the simplest of tasks

OK "IT Expert".

Oh my.

Win 10 updated the other day, damn 3 hours in middle of the night, 3h30 Am to 6h30 Am...and it was not even done, asked for more reboots..

good news, LOM, my original instructions does stand for Win10

Go to classic Network connection, it should be there, otherwise download classicshell for a better "Start" button experience

right-click on your Wifi or Lan connection and then "rename"

yes it was that simple, sadly no need for Regedit

of course that useless tard, harry, claimed it couldn't be done, what a fucking tosser

Microsoft released the Fall Creators update with new features. And presumably a shitload of security fixes on the sly.

Microsoft slips four more features into the Fall Creators Update with Build 16251 | PCWorld

You can always ask Buttplug the "IT Expert" for help.
