Dual profiles on Windows 10 (Surface Pro 4)

cron yo .

No good if I don't know when I'll be working.

Problem is that you'd have to create a watcher task or a service to constantly monitor the Network to detect changes - which is like cracking a walnut with a tactical nuke (in this case anyway)

like the built in wifi scanning bizzo., innit.
Most routers will announce/push their ssid.

If timing and networks are variable you can either: suck it up and create a different profile or create aforementioned bats or exes with a shortcut to run whatever you want.

Third possibly more frustrating initially is to run a productivity app that let's you set a profile.

I used to use one called either light room or dark room I got from the store that you list all the apps you want to disable in a particular context. E.g kill all mail, comms or productivity app traffic when in meeting mode. Kill only comms when doing research. Or the one I really liked, sleep or low priority everything except your current screen.
I don't have the work asset I had it on so can't tell you for sure what it was or if it is available for 10.

I can't find the software any more.
But - This article might just tell you how to do what you want form the native properties. On Android I do something similar and provide exceptions for those apps that I do want people to be able to contact me on. E.g, I have skype messenger blocked but I have facebook messenger allowed.

Sounds like just having two accounts is going to be so much easier. On the home account make it so your email/skype etc doesn't boot on startup.

Or just close them. Right click -> Close/exit. It can't be that hard.

Buy a separate tablet for home.
