    Network Sharing Disables When Computer is Idle after Win10 update


    Hey There,

    After the last Windows 10 update my laptop no longer shows up on my network when it's idle for awhile. It goes back on if I use my laptop.

    I am sharing my laptop HD and two external hard drives attached to it all over a wireless network. I'm not using any kind of homegroup and I am just using network and sharing options so I can access my drives through ES File Explorer on my Android boxes.

    I have every device (except my display) set to NOT power off when my computer goes idle and my computer is set to not sleep. I do lock my computer when I am away but that's it. Any idea what happened in the last windows update to cause this?

    Thanks!

    :)

    Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

    When in win10:
    • Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....
    Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
    - Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

    Network share has no permission in Win10, but has in Win7


    Hi,

    I recently changed my work computer from a Win7 to a Win10 computer. All our network shares are kept on one old Win2K3 server (I know old, but I'm not in charge of upgrading that).

    From my Win10 computer I cannot access two network shares out of several needed. The error says that I don't have any permissions. At the same time I can access them from my Win7 computer.

    I checked a few suggestions from google (turn on network discovery, file sharing - on, pasword protected sharing, ...) no luck. Most of the suggestions found are for a scenario where I couldn't access any network shares. But this is not the case. Only two are giving me trouble. Even the way permission is granted is the same for all shares - a Security Group in our AD. I also tried changing AllowInsecureGuestAuth in the registry - nothing.

    It was fine till some updates got installed. I've uninstalled them (except KB3211320, which cannot be uninstalled) of them and it worked for a while. Till the next updates (which were only for MS Office and not for Windows).

    Any ideas?

    Cannot access shared network drive


    I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
    It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!
