You are connected to a new network

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hello, I have a problem. I have a desktop PC connected via LAN. Every time I turn the PC off and on, avast notifies me: you are connected to a new network and by default sets it as public access. I have to manually switch to Trust this network / Private network, otherwise my SMB and devices on the local network remain blocked.
I have also set a default IP for my PC in the router, however no change and when I turn on the PC this keeps repeating.
In the avast firewall settings I could not find how to permanently set my home network as trusted.
Please advise.

Dobrý den, mám problém. Mám stolní PC připojený přes LAN. Vždy když vypnu a zapnu PC tak mi avast oznámí: Jste připojeni k nové síti a defaultně ji nastaví jako věřejný přístup. Musím manuálně přepnout na Důověřovat této síti / Privátní síť, jinak mi zůstane zablokovaný SMB a zařízení v místní síti.
V routeru jsem nastavil i defaultní IP pro můj PC, nicméne nbez změny a při zapnutí PC se toto neustále opakuje.
V nastavení avast Firewall jsem nenašel jakým způsobem nastavit permanentně moji domácí síť jako důvěryhodnou.
Prosím o radu.

I will add that if I uninstall avast, and Windows defender is set by default, the network is correctly saved as private and I don’t have to set it manually every time I turn on the PC.

When will this be fixed? This thread is one year old now but the problem are still there. Every time the monitor “wake up” Avast say that it is a new network and I have to set it to private and secure.
