Windows 10: Laptop no longer connects to My Home Network

Hello, I have a laptop that is about 3 years old, pretty infrequently used. It worked fine when I first got it and now it cannot connect to my Spectrum router no matter what I try. All of my other devices are working fine, the laptop can connect to my phone via a hotspot with no problems. Both Wifi and Ethernet direct recognize the network but then say no internet, I have already tried the following and don't know what to try at this point. Diagnosing the WiFi connection returns this error : "Your computer is correctly configured but the device or resource DNS Server is not responding" 1. A

Losing network connection

Hello Dear, if you have a laptop or a PC with a wireless network adapter, you can see a list of available wireless networks and then connect to one of those networks. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

2. In the left pane, under Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
In case, If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Refresh network list. If you see the network but the signal is weak, move the PC closer to the wireless router.

3. Click the network you want to connect to, and then click Connect.

4. If you're connecting to a secure network, type the security key, and then click OK.

I Hope you solve out your query soon.

 

Home Network Desktop and Laptop no longer able to connect.

Home Network Desktop and Laptop no longer able to connect.

My desktop is a Dell Inspiron x64 running Windows 10 Pro Version 10.0.17134 Build 17134 on local LAN connected via Broadband Internet Access. The computer has been formatted into two drives.

My laptop is also a Dell Inspiron x64 running Windows 10 Pro Version 10.0.17134 Build 17134 on local LAN connected via Wireless Internet Access. The laptop has been formatted into two drives.

I run separate copies of Acronis True Image backup on both systems and they continuously sync selected files without difficulty. In the past it has been possible for me to exchange files between the computers via the Network folders. After a Windows update
that no longer became possible, however, I have no basis for assuming the update is the fault.

The File Explorer listing for Network shows both computers listed. All attempts to access the other computer listed under Network fails. "Windows cannot access \\Inspiron-5570" is a typical response seen following hours of connection attempts. The following
is another example of a response:

[table][tr][td][table][tr][td]Windows can't communicate with the device or resource (INSPIRON-5570)[/td][td]Detected[/td][td][/tr][/table]

[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]
It is available but is not responding to connection attempts. A firewall or network security policy on the remote computer might be blocking the connection on port "file and print sharing resource".
[/td]
[/tr]

[/table]
I've completely disabled virus, firewall and other security applications, but the effort failed to resolve the problem.

I've read and followed every suggestion I've found on the Internet in my attempts to resolve the problem. None of the suggestions I've found has provided the solution I need.

If the Acronis True Image software is able to SYNC information between the two computers, why am I not able to exchange information via the Network?
