It’s unclear if this works, but in short I need a fixed IP at home for my ongoing projects. I’ve updated my IP in the control panel to match what I set. If I join another network, like my college network, will it still attempt to obtain that IP or can I have automatic switching between dynamic and static addresses?

Formerly, there were programs you could purchase that performed this function; it's unclear if they worked with Windows 10. This resource might also be useful: https://www.onlinecomputertips.com/suppo...-same-time

You can assign a fixed IP address in Windows 10 while allowing DHCP to work for other devices connected to the router - https://pureinfotech.com/set-static-ip-a...indows-10/

They require a solution specifically for relocating the computer, not for other devices on the same network.

Set up DHCP on your PC and adjust your router to give your device a fixed IP address.

Precisely what I intended to propose, though a home network might not support it.
