wherein MSFT rep Paul Sey asks for Feedback Hub submission which I would also do then post back a Share link to it here and in the thread in reply to Paul Sey.

 

Nearby Sharing Not Working

Hi, and thanks for any help.

When I use the "Share" button on a file in File manager, after it says "Looking for new devices" it switches to "Make sure the other device has nearby sharing turned on in the action center", and will not find the PC I'm trying to send to.

I have two PCs with different owners/accounts (sitting next to each other). Both have Bluetooth adapters running firmware version HCI 6.8891 / LMP 6.8891 (they have the same external USB adapters installed). Under "Bluetooth radio supports Low Energy Central
Role", the value is <true> on both PCs.

Both PCs are running Windows 10 Pro Version 1803, and have Nearby Sharing available in the action center. Nearby sharing is enabled for "Everyone Nearby" on both. The Bluetooth toggle in the action center is also on for both.

Any other ideas for getting Nearby Sharing to work? Every article I find on the subject stops with the above advice.

Thanks again.
