Windows 10: I Can't See Wife's Computer; Hers Can See MIne

My and my wife's machines are on version 1909 OS Build 18363.1016.


Real simple problem: on our home network, my wife's machine can browse into my machine and see and change files. My machine can't even see hers.

I went to this page:

Share Files and Folders Over a Network in Windows 10

And did all the things here I was supposed to, and still I can't see her machine:





... and hers can see mine:

Confirmed that we are on the same network.

Is there anything, any setting, beyond the page above I should be checking?

:)

 

Windows mail app opens for me but not my wife on the same computer?
