Windows 10: After Windows 10 reset my PC is not accessible on my home network

I did Win 10 reset my pc after various problems with crashing and apparently corrupt / over-sized registry.All working OK, but my pc is "not accessible" from other pc on my home network. It CAN access other pc, but cannot be accessed. I have tried resetting the network, enabling "everyone" to have access, removing password protection and encryption etc, I disabled anti-virus. Still no change

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Issues while accessing PC over the network

Hi Cliff,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while accessing the PC’s over the network. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.

1. Have you connected both the laptops to the same network through which the PC is connected?
   
2. Which build version of Windows is installed on the PC’s?
   

Refer the article
Which version of Windows operating system am I running?



Meanwhile, I would suggest you to try connecting the PC to the main router and see if you are able to access the laptops.



If you are able to access the laptops, then we need to configure the network settings once again. You can refer the suggestions by
