    Computer visible to one user but not another


    I have 3 computers on my home network, two are Windows 10 desktops, one is Windows 7 laptop. I'll call them 10-1, 10-2, and 7.

    10-1 can see 10-2 and 7.

    7 can see 10-1 and 10-2.

    10-2 can see 7 but CANNOT see 10-1. What can cause this problem?

    All are Ethernet connected to the same router.

    New observation: As an experiment I turned off discovery and restarted 10-1. It is still visible to the Windows 7 laptop and sharing is the same. It seems like the settings in the network and sharing center have no relationship with what is really going on.

    :)

    Deleting the corrupted files worked. Thank you!

    Same user block from one computer but not another

    I had blocked my daughter's MS account from logging in for a week to any computer. I lifted the restrictions yesterday and she could login to a Windows 10 desktop just fine. She wanted to get on to the laptop and is still blocked. I am typing this on that
    laptop from my own MS account so I know the networking works. I also confirmed the family settings on the Microsoft Family website. I ran the latest updates, restarted several times, but each time she tries to login she gets a message that her screen time
    is up.

    What else can I try?

    Computer visible to one user but not another

    I tried today and all 3 computers see all other computers. KB3139907 installed on 3/2 and KB3139907 on 3/3. Maybe one of these fixed it?
