Windows 10: My laptop and desktop computer aren't talking to each other on my home network.

I've done everything that Lucas Ruani, Microsoft agent, moderator, told me, with the methods he indicated to update the services, and it doesn't work. I'm aware that SMB-1 no longer works, and I can't access my laptop on the network from my desktop computer. When I try, it opens that window asking for credentials. I've already entered Credential Manager and removed it, then I created one with a password, but nothing works. To summarize: I have a laptop and a desktop computer, but they don't communicate on the network. Can someone help me, please?

Win 10 laptop can't see a folder on desktop


Hi

My network is really simple. A win10 laptop and a win10 desktop. The desktop has a couple of hard drives and the laptop needs to see one of them.

At various times it's all been good but then something mysterious happens and we're back to square one.

So

• I've set up a homegroup and both computers belong to it
• I've set up sharing so that the homegroup can read/write
• I've added my husbands email address as a user on the desktop and accepted the invitation so that it doesn't show as pending

Yet, when I go to the laptop

• I can see the homegroup and the two computers that are in it
• I can see the network and the same two computers
• If I click on the drives I get a no-permission error

I've obviously missed a step somewhere and I've gone over tutorials and guides but can't work out what it is. Any ideas?

 

Unable to see Desktop computer under Network to share files

Thanks for Your reply, but the question is not exactly as You have undersstood (due probably to my bad english)

I've reinstalled the desktop and all was ok

- from desktop by clicking the network icon both computers appears (desktop and laptop)

- after the last automatic upgrade the desktop icon don't appear both on desktop and laptop. The connection seems exist due to the fact that i've copied files from the destop to the laptop but desktop don't appear so that it was impossible make the same
from laptop.

I've also tried the solution that You have suggested but nothing change, the situation remain the same (attached the print screen made from desktop that don't appear. The laptop shown the same, laptop appear and desktop none). Before the upgrading both
computers was indicated.

Waiting eventually other suggestions, bye

 

Computers Vanished From File Explorer But Network Still Works

I agree with @Try3. I have tried every suggested method to fix Windows networking suggested on these forums. All at best only worked for a short time. The only things that helped was:

1. Batch file I suggested in an earlier post
2. Creating shortcuts to computers on my home network

Note these two things are not fixes but workaround. However, at least they help and have never failed. I have shortcuts set up for eight computers on my home network. I have created a folder on my desktop called My Network to hold the shortcuts. They have a mix of the following operating systems:

• Windows 10 - 4
• Windows 7 - 3
• Windows XP - 1
