Network Discovery in Network and Sharing Center resets

Hello.
I got a laptop a week ago with Windows 10. This morning when I tried to copy a document from the main PC (Windows 7) via WiFi, an error appeared "Network discovery is turned off. Network computers and devices are not visible. Please turn on network discovery in Network and Sharing Center". I did that, but it immediately reset to off.

I checked the tutorial section:
* DNS Client, Function Discovery Provider Host, Function Discovery Resource Publication and SSDP Discovery are all running.
* Option 2 (To Turn On or Off Network Discovery in Network and Sharing Center) resets to off as soon as I close the window.
* Option 3 (To Turn On or Off Network Discovery for All Network Profiles in Command Prompt) returns "No rules match the specified criteria.".

I've mapped the folder on PC to a network drive and can now access the documents, but I'd like to make the laptop discoverable on network as it was.

Any advice would be appreciated.

      2008 R2.
   3. Click Change settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
   4. Select Network discovery, and then click OK.
3. Configure other firewalls in the network to allow Network Discovery.
4. Turn on Network Discovery in Network and Sharing Center.
