Network was fine - no longer working


EDIT FOR SOLUTION:

My friend came over this morning and fixed this for me. The problem was the (1) Laptop was logged into my Windows Live account and the (2) Desktops were logged into Local Accounts. For some reason, this now prevents my laptop from accessing the local network.

He switched my Windows Live login on my (1) Laptop to a Windows Local login account and it is now all back to normal.

Hello all,

I was posting in another thread hoping to get some help, but I think maybe my situation was confusing. So I'll start my own thread and see if this works better for all of us!

I upgraded my (3) PCs (one laptop and two desktops) a couple of weeks ago now when Win10 was released. All (3) PCs have been working fine. I have (1) Desktop I work from (1) Laptop I work from and (1) Desktop that I basically use as a file server.

The (1) Laptop and the (1) Desktop read and write from the "Q" drive that the (1) File Server shares. I keep my work files on that drive and all (3) PCs access them.

Up until yesterday, this has worked perfectly fine. I have been reading and writing to the "Q" drive from all (3) PCs running Win10.

Yesterday, I walked from my home office to my living room, turned on my Laptop to get some work done. It's been about 3 days since I've used my laptop (all was fine then) and now I can NOT access any network drives from my Laptop. I can see the other machines, but can not access them. I get errors that either it is not accessible or a log-on window that just keeps popping up like my username/password combo is incorrect. Symptoms exactly as described here: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/w...re-access.html

I can:

• Access my wireless printer from my Laptop - I can see the Memory Card slot and I can print just fine.
• Access my Laptop from both Desktops (although one will only browse to the root shared folder on my laptop and the other will browse the root shared folder and the subfolders...).
• See all the computers from my Laptop.

I've tried all the solutions I found online (Google searches galore!) and retried almost every one of them. I've shutdown ALL my devices, modem and router and restarted. I've also tried connecting the PC directly to the router (hardwired) instead of over WiFi, but no difference there.

Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you.

 

Laptop speakers suddenly not working, but headphones work fine.

I'm really baffled here as to what's going on with my laptop audio. It was working just a few days ago from what I remember and now tonight when I was playing a game in Steam the audio just wasn't working. Checked audio settings in the game, all was good. Turned the game off and started testing using YouTube, still nothing. The volume is definitely up and I found that headphones work fine. When I open the 'Playback devices' dialogue from right clicking the speaker in the task bar it shows the green equalizer bar moving up and down if something is playing, but there's no audio. I've checked for any conflicting devices in here and ensured everything was enabled as per usual.

So far I've updated the drivers, uninstalled the drivers completely and reinstalled them (automatically after restarting laptop), and have checked for updates on my computer (all up to date). My device manger does have 2 drivers listed which I thought was weird, but maybe it has always been like this? I'm not sure honestly. I uninstalled both and they both came back after restarting. See the image here:




Is there anything else to try? I thought uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them would fix it, but nope.

System details: Windows 10, Acer Aspire laptop (~7 months old? No issues thus far). Let me know if I need to provide any more details! Very frustrated and need to get to bed now because of work in the morning, but I will be sure to check back and try any suggestions and answer any questions.

 

MS Outlook 2016 stopped working

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to repair Outlook? It was working fine yesterday, but after I turned my laptop on this morning, Outlook is no longer working. When I click on it, (the 'activity circle' just disappears - and does nothing.

Any suggestions are appreciated - I really need my email back. Thanks!
