How to change network from public to private.

I botted up my Win11 PC for the first time in a couple of years and network file sharing was switched off. I went into settings and turned it back on and set my network to private. I still could not see the other PC's in the network. Looking in AVG, it has the network as public. How can I change it? I used to be able to alter AVG's network settings but cannot find out how now?
