Nearby Sharing

I have reviewed most of the older posts and their possible solutions about this problem but none have worked for me. I am posting the same problem in the hope that someone has found a more recent solution. Here is my setup:

• Both PC and Laptop running v.1903.
• Both are on the same WiFi network.
• Laptop connects to the network via WiFi
• PC has both ethernet connection and WiFi enabled.
• PC - Realtek Bluetooth 4.0
• Laptop - Qualcomm Atheros 4.1
• Both bluetooth radios supports Low Energy Central Role = true
• Both set up for nearby sharing. "Everyone nearby" selected on both.
• The two machines are about 4 meters apart.

"Looking for nearby devices" fails in both directions. I would appreciate any help.

 

How can I share with "Everyone nearby"?

In version 1709 in Settings, System has a Shared experiences setting. It appears that by selecting "Everyone nearby" in the "I can share or receive from" list, I should see other shareable devices other than just my own. But, when I click the Share button
in Edge, I cannot find an option to do so. Should nearby devices show under "Connected Devices" or am I missing something?
