Security changes should not change the ssid that is being broadcasted. Seems like your device is renaming the ssid to differentiate between the ssid with multiple security settings. Try to delete the old profiles on the device and add it back once you decide on the security method you want.

It might be related with PC. One of two PCs always has ssid abc, but second PC has ssid abc 2 once enabling Layer 2 WPA+WPA2/PSK
