Hello Bridgett,
Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.
From the description provided, I understand that you are unable to change the private network location from public to private.
Kindly provide us few more details on the below questions in order to understand the issue better.
1. Were you able to change the settings for the network profile in the first place?
2. What is the behavior that you actually observed when you restart the system after changing the status?
In order to change the Network Profile follow the below steps.
However, if the above steps are also tested and does not hold good, follow these steps to run the Windows in built troubleshooter:
a) Write Troubleshooting in the search box and hit enter.
b) Click on Troubleshooting tab.
c) Click on view all option on the upper left corner.
d) Select the Network Connections options from the list.
e) Click Next to run the Troubleshooter.
Kindly reply on this with the required information and we would be happy to help you.
Thank you.

Not finding gpedit on Windows 10 Enterprise by default. It is easier to use these steps...
1.) Search for and run the desktop app Local Security Policy.
2.) Under the Security Settings list, tap on the Network List Manager Policies item.
3.) Under the Network Name column, find your local network. (It is probably called Network.)
4.) Double-tap on the Network.
5.) The Network Properties page appears.
6.) Tap on the Network Location tab.
7.) For the Location type, tap on the Private button.
8.) Tap on the OK button.
9.) Close the Local Security Policy app.

Why was this even changed, without the user's knowledge or permission, and why has the process been made so convoluted and complicated? This type of behaviour from Microsoft affects IT professionals like myself who need to work remotely. Suddenly I cannot remote desktop to my work machine because Microsoft have decided to modify *my* machine without my knowledge or permission. It makes both me and my company look incompetent in the eyes of our customers, so thanks a bunch for that.
Instead of messing around with other people's property without invitation, why don't you instead try *NOT* doing that?
