Windows 10: Network Issues Using Windows 10

I posted previously concerning my ability, or lack thereof, about network issues (I can't find my original post about "Network Credentials" & received a response). I did as instructed & now I can see both computers (one in my bedroom & one in my living room).

Even though I can see both computers, I see "This folder is empty". I want to view files & transfer them from one computer to another. If I have my Windows 8.1 laptop up & running, I can transfer files from one computer to the other. The attached image is my living room computer. The identical image appears on my bedroom printer (except with the DESKTOP-?????????)

I'm open for more suggestions/help. Thanx in advance.

Issues with network adapters

Hi Alfonso,

To resolve this issue, we suggest that you run the Network troubleshooter when you switch from WiFi to Ethernet connection. The Network troubleshooter can help diagnose and fix common connection problems including clearing the network cache to obtain a new
IP from the new network. Kindly follow the steps below:

• In the search box on the taskbar, type Identify and repair network problems, and then select
  Identify and repair network problems from the list of results.
• Follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that fixes the problem.

If the issue persists, kindly try the troubleshooting steps on the following link:

Fix network connection issues in Windows 10.

We recommend that you try the steps on the Update the network adapter driver,
Run the Network troubleshooter followed by networking commands, and Use network reset to reinstall network devices sections.

Let us know how it goes for us to assist you further.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
