Windows 10: Cannot see Desktop or Laptop on the network

I recently updated Windows 10 Pro to 1903. So far everything worked ok, except that My Desktop cannot see my Laptop and vice versa.

I tried all sorts of things without resolving this issue. Even accessing \\198.168.0.1 tells me that it cannot access \\XXXXXPC with the message: "Error Code 0x80070035 The network path cannot be found." I had also a new router installed, but all settings are ok. I am very frustrated and do not know what to do to get things going again.


Annotation: This is not the first time that this happened, but eventually I was able to resolve issues myself. I think MS makes it more and more complicated with networking. They make it now a book with seven seals, which is no longer possible to crack. Simplification should be applied. Making things simple is one of the best selling arguments. MS leaves customers totally in the dark about networking, especially home users who are not NERDS.

Win 10 laptop can't see a folder on desktop


Hi

My network is really simple. A win10 laptop and a win10 desktop. The desktop has a couple of hard drives and the laptop needs to see one of them.

At various times it's all been good but then something mysterious happens and we're back to square one.

So

• I've set up a homegroup and both computers belong to it
• I've set up sharing so that the homegroup can read/write
• I've added my husbands email address as a user on the desktop and accepted the invitation so that it doesn't show as pending

Yet, when I go to the laptop

• I can see the homegroup and the two computers that are in it
• I can see the network and the same two computers
• If I click on the drives I get a no-permission error

I've obviously missed a step somewhere and I've gone over tutorials and guides but can't work out what it is. Any ideas?

 

HELP! My Laptop has gone into SLOW MOTION!

Should be able to get a "step-by-step here;
