Hi,

I cannot see files on my wifes PC from my laptop. We are both on Windows 1909 mine 64 bits my wife's 32. We are using the same router. We used to be able to see each other files.


I can see and use the printer connected to my wife's PC but no files only Users containing 2 default (1 being . migrated) we used to be able to see everything.


When I look at my Advanced Sharing settings (Private) it is set to Turn off network discovery and Turn on file and printer sharing. If I change these it seems to do it but when I look again they have not changed. My wife's PC says Turn on network discovery.

Also when I look further at giving access to a folder it seems to request specific people if I say everyone can I assume that that means everybody who uses that router (i.e. visitors) (I do not object to that as I only give read access. I thought giving the device name was sufficient.
