Windows 10: Bug report: Network sharing stops working after laptop restarts

Dear Microsoft,I hope my message reaches you, I recently encountered a bug in Windows related to network sharing, and I wanted to report it to you in the hopes that it can be addressed in a future update.The issue occurs when I connect my laptop to a home WiFi network that is connected to the internet and share the network with a second computer via a LAN cable. After restarting the laptop And when Windows comes up, the network sharing stops working and does not function as expected. I have reproduced this issue consistently on multiple occasions, and I believe it to be a bug in the Windows op

How to stop sharing folder for windows 10?

Referring to following link, I would like to know on how to stop sharing folder for windows 10.

I cannot find Stop Sharing option on step 5.

Use these steps to stop sharing any folder on Windows 10:

1. Open Start.
   
2. Search for Computer Management and click the top result to open the experience.
   
3. Expand the Shared Folders branch from the left pane.
   
4. Click the Shares item.
   
5. Right-click the folder that you no longer want to share and the Stop Sharing option.
   

Furthermore, ADMIN$ is found to be Remote Admin under computer management.

There is no option to stop it as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop sharing and remote?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Win 10 Network sharing failure

Hi

For some reason this has stopped working as expected (I think) after creator's update on PC had to be applied manually as automated update kept failing.

I am trying to share specific folders between laptop and pc which was working fine before and I was able to see both machines from either machine under Network. I was using a syncing program, Beyond Compare. Both machines are running Windows 10. And I could sync from either machine to the other.

Having looked at this to try to resolve it I am not now sure that I am confusing Homegroup and Network Sharing as at one point I appeared to have icons for both (?) showing under Network. There were certainly duplicated icons in any case, some being the win 10 library icon and the others the standard windows folder with green bar, but for same folders. I was also in position of being unable to leave homegroup and unable to create another.

Steps so far and current situation:

1. C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\RoamingDeleted folder PeerNetworking and all contents
2. Restarted both machines
3. Made sure that following were running and set to automatic:Homegroup ListenerHomegroup ProviderPeer Networking GroupingUPnP Device Host
4. Restarted machines again
5. This enabled me to remove a homegroup that was not previously removing
6. Once both machines showing no homegroup and I was able to create one...Then created new Homegroup on Laptop, Joined it on PC. Still unable to see laptop under Networks.
7. Removed Homegroup altogether
8. Shared out required folders on both PC Laptop and PC by right clicking on each and sharing to my username which is same on both PC and laptop.

Now have PC's folders showing as available under network on laptop and able to use syncing program from laptop to PC. BUT unable to see laptop's shared folders on laptop and use syncing program from PC.

I am sure is should not be this hard! Can anyone shed any light? Thanks in advance.

 

Cannot stop sharing a folder on Network


Hi forum,

I've got a problem in stopping sharing some folders across my home network. Not sure if it matters, but I'm on Windows 10 Pro, running my admin user account.
Anyways, I have a folder I want to unshare from my network called Pictures2 which I believe is empty. The problem is I don't seem to have access to it even though it seems to originate from my PC.





While I was able to unshare the 'Videos2' folder by going into the Properties normally, I can't stop sharing 'Pictures2' from my network even though my computer is the one sharing it. Double-clicking gives a "Windows cannot access XXX" error.

I did notice a difference between these folders which may or may not be important - The Pictures2 folder doesn't have an owner (either that or it can't display it in advanced security settings) while the Videos2 owner was SYSTEM.
My user account was in the 'shared' list of both these two folders which is strange, as I couldn't access Pictures2 but could access Videos2.
Honestly I don't know how or when they were even created and I can't find them on my local drive if they're even meant to be there.

I tried using the manual cmd method suggested in another thread but get this:





I would like this Pictures2 folder unshared, and if I know where it's located on my PC I can delete it too.

Help?! Any advice would be appreciated.
