Only if my pro advised it, IMO the adjustability is for when you are able to run the numbers for each setting and dial it in. It's not for just cranking one way or another due to conditions.
Driver adjustment, when would you change.

Always run mine neutral. My theory is if I got it set for draw and start hitting big draws I would blame the club. Neutral gives instant feedback on how I’m swinging that day which may effect the complete bag although a lot more visual on the big stick to to shaft length and less loft.

I was fit for my driver, but after several months I decided to adjust the loft up a degree. I was fading it a little too much, and also hitting it low on the face sometimes, so adding loft addressed both - closing the face slightly and giving a higher launch. I've definitely hit more fairways since so I'm happy with it.
The good thing about adjustable drivers is that you can change a setting, try it out, and if there's no improvement you just put it back how it was. Surely you don't need to mull it over that much, just give it a go and see for yourself. (Although not right now obviously.)

Was it just the weight that was moved or was loft added as well?
If loft was added and you're now hitting it straighter, dial the loft back down to whatever the clubs standard is but leave the weight where it is and see how that goes.

Ditto this. Bought a new driver last year and it's brilliant. Set up to stop fade, and does. Smash the ball down the middle now. Can't see me ever changing.

Have you tried increasing your angle of attack, rather than the loft on the club?

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
When I was fitted for the Ping driver both loft and weight were set for my swing speed and path.
What’s the thought rational on lowering the loft, am not the highest of natural hitters although I don’t hit grass cutters.

According to your OP your driver is doing what it was intended after the fitting and the results are what you were looking for.
So why on earth would you want to fiddle with it?

The bottom line is that I am hitting the ball differant to when I was fitted. So would the club be set up the same way as it is now, hence my asking.
Similar to when you get fitted for irons playing off 25, would you have the same clubs if you then got down to 12

So you are no longer regular hitting fades and slices.
That means the fit is working or do you think that all the improvement is down to you?
Either way, if you are now hitting it straighter and longer than before what do you think you will gain from messing about with the settings?

I think the hitting it straighter is down to a lesson more than anything else,which was the sole purpose of having the lesson. all am thinking is would the weight being moved alter the club for better or worse.

Just try the different settings next time you play or go to the range ?.
I was due a couple of lessons up at the Peter Cowan academy this month.It’s kinda gone belly up. The lessons were a follow up ( I had a lesson Sept time) of me learning and understanding of how to try and hit it straighter. As it stands I am chuffed to bits with hitting it straighter. The day I shot my 82 my driving was sublime. So am loathe to change for changing sake. I was just thinking one Groundhog Day that my driver is set up for when my natural swing was a large fade.
That aside, it has endorsed that understanding what I was doing wrong and what I need to do right was down to a good lesson, not so much a good club.

Working on it. Had it on 10.5 and had teed it up a fraction higher and so getting a better launch. Feel when we get out of lockdown it'll be a case of back to square one and getting path and timing back first

A mate of mine was advised that moving the weights left to right & vice versa didn't much affect the flight. However, he said that, if you're prone to hitting it out of the heel, set the club for a draw. That way, the extra weight is behind the ball & your mishits will go farther.
