Windows 10: My windows 10 machine not finding device on my network

I have a network media storage device on my network, my windows 7 discovers the device in my network, but my Windows 10 will not. My Windows 10 machine does see other computers on the network, including network printers, except this medial storage device. I can ping the device from the Windows 10 machine but refuses to find the device. I tried to manually map it, by letting windows search for it, without results, and if I type the network path to it will not help. It is clear that the Windows 10 computer shares and discovers others devices on the network, so I am totally out of ideas. &nb

Network Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 machines

I am trying to net work 2 computers, a Windows 8.1 machine and a Windows 10 machine. The network on the Windows 10 machine shows both machines, but the network on the 8.1 machines shows the Windows 10 as a media device.

Suggestions?

 

windows 10 VERY slow when trying to open Devices & Printers?

Although I appreciate your offer for suggestions as you can see by the post dates, this thread is a bit long in the tooth. The issue was resolved with one of the updated builds of windows 10. Although in my opinion it's still not as fast as Windows 7, it's nowhere near as slow as it was in summer 2016 when I posted this issue.

Home network on Updated Windows machine

I forgot to ask if this is a laptop or a desktop machine. Is the printer connected over cable or wifi?

Please do the following steps for auto fix:

• Open Control Panel.
• Choose Network and Internet.
• Click on Network and Sharing Center.
• Click on Troubleshoot Problem.
• Click on Printer.
• Click on Next until it find the error.

Double check also the cables if your using cable connection. If the computer can't find anything, network is the area that we need to establish.

Keep us posted.
