Windows 10: multiple computers 1 network portable apps

This is just simple curiosity on my part.

Those of you running several computers off 1 network
Do you put portable apps on each machine or
put them on one and run them on the others?

For instance Wise Disk Cleaner Portable is on my Gateway and I connect my HP
through my network to my share folder on the Gatewy and run WDC from there .

Network Communication problem with multiple computers

Hi Jay,

Thank you for responding.

I suggest you to try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

Method 1: Network discovery might be blocking you from seeing other computers and devices on the network. Check if the Network discovery is turned on. If the network discovery setting on your computer is set to off, you
won't see other computers and devices on the network.

Steps to Turn on network discovery.

• Press Windows key, type sharing and click on
  Manage advanced sharing settings.
• Under Private, Network discovery, check mark the option
  Turn on network discovery.
• Try the same on all the computers connected to the network.

Method 2: If the issue still persists, run
HomeGroup troubleshooter and check.

HomeGroup troubleshooter finds and fix problems with viewing computers or shared folders in a HomeGroup.

• Press Windows key, type troubleshooting
  and select it.
• Click on View all in the left pane and click on
  HomeGroup.
• Follow the on-screen instructions.

Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of this issue for further assistance.
