Windows 7 - Unidentified Network - how to fix it?

Colleagues, such a funny problem:
There are two computers connected by a network cable. One has the address 192.168.0.1, the second has 192.168.0.2. One computer under Win7 Prof, the second - Win7 Ultimate. There is no Internet access and should not be, there is no domain controller either. Since the cards are gigabit, they are simply connected directly without a switch. That is, a kind of spherical "LAN WORKGROUP" in a vacuum of two computers and nothing more. Windows on both out of the box. Everything works as it should - computers ping, see each other in a networked environment, see shared folders, etc. But in the tray there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation point and the "Unidentified Network" hint. That is a problem from the category "inaccurately somehow". The Internet is teeming with advice, but mostly the questioners have troubles with access to the Internet. I called the local sysadmin - he said, they say there is no Internet access - that's a warning. I tried a lot of things to tweak, but to no avail.
The question is - has anyone come across a sane guide to organizing ("identifying") such a local network without access to the Internet in order to remove this message? Thank you.
Upd:
The problem is solved through gpedit.msc, there Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network Connections and enable "Do not show the "local access only" network icon" there.

You can create the parameter *NdisDeviceType (DWORD) = 1 in the registry, HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\<adapter number>\ , then Windows will stop considering this adapter as "real" and remove all his notifications from the tray. To find out for which adapter number it is easier to prescribe this by searching for the DriverDesc parameter (name of the network card).
Well, reboot / disable-connect, of course.

@oia

it's easier to forget about it, and that's it, or remove the network setting from the notification area
