Windows 10: File sharing not working on two PC's on my LAN

I have no problems with sharing files between laptops and one other PC on my LAN. I use the credentials on all computers. I have applied my "fixes" found on the internet but none of them work.I have somehow managed to get once PC visible in explorer Networking but get the error code 0x80070035 network path not found. The other pc does not even show up in network. Yes discovery and alike are all active. I have tried turning SMB 1 back on, removed ipv6 networking on the nic's.I have also run : sfc /scannow Dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /StartComponentcleanup Dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /Ch

Unable to share files in my LAN

Hi all, I have two Windows 10 PC's in my home LAN (connected to same wired router). I would like to be able to transfer files between them. I have followed all steps in this guide and verified all requirements comply with it. When I open Windows Explorer and then click on Network in one PC I see the other PC listed, but when I double click on the PC I don't see any shared folder listed,not even the Public folder, instead I see the following error, any hint? Thanks

 

Android to PC file Share - Security at risk

Hello Anuj Indoria,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To address the issue, kindly help us with the following questions.

1. If the computer is connected via cable, may I know how the phone is connected to the computer?
2. If the computer is connected via Wi-Fi, may I know how the phone is connected to the computer?
3. When you connect the computer via Wi-Fi, will it asks for the Wi-Fi credentials or the computer credentials?

I would recommend you to check with the below suggestions and see if it works.

Method 1: Turn on password protected sharing.

If the password protected sharing is on, only people who have a user account and password on that computer can access shared files attached to that computer and the Public folders. To restrict other people access, you must turn on password protected sharing.
To do that

• Go to search window and type Managed advanced sharing settings and click on it.
  
• Click the down arrow on the right of All Networks to expand the settings.
  
• Select Turn on password protected sharing from the list and click on
  Save changes.

Method 2: Create a shared folder.

You can share files between your android and PC and keep it encrypted by creating a shared folder from the following steps.

• Create a shared folder and assign a name to it.
• In ES File Explorer on your phone, hit the globe icon which is on the upper-left corner and navigate the network - LAN.
  
• Click Search on the menu from the bottom to search for networks (Make sure to connect the phone and PC till you get the IP Address of your PC).
  
• Click the icon and add your Username and Password.
• After creating a shared folder, you can easily add sharing files back and forth using ES File explorer.
  

Hope it helps.

Shared folders don't work with Windows 10

I avoided Windows 10 for very long out of obvious reasons, but now I had to change because my hardware isn't supported anymore. I run two PCs, one serves as a NAS. Both have the same Windows 10 1809 version installed. Before I had 8.1, which always worked flawlessly, beside of not having Ryzen chipset drivers. Hardware:

• PC 1: B350 chipset, Ryzen 1700, Realtek GbE LAN
• PC 2: X470 chipset, Ryzen 2700X, Intel GbE LAN
• Router: Telekom Speedport Hybrid

This happens now. All the background services are activated, the PCs can see each other but not access. Windows 10 seems to be a real step back.

Is there a solution to get home network groups working again, maybe through a third party solution or hack?
