Windows 11 Network Profile Security
The system's default behavior for public network profiles restricts file and printer sharing for security.
Accidental exposure occurs when the active network profile does not match the security requirements of the local environment.
Profile Enforcement Uncertainty
What is the precise mechanism by which Windows 11 enforces the security restrictions associated with the 'Public' network profile, beyond simple service disabling?
Does the firewall rule set automatically adapt when the profile changes, or is manual verification of inbound rules necessary?
