My laptop has been compromised by a third party and I am no longer able to connect to the internet as I believe my settings have been altered to prevent access. How can I change these settings back.

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?
