Windows 10: No longer have direct access to my entire home network

Hello,
I'm using Win 10 Pro 20H2 (19042.572)
Since few days, although my internet connection has been working fine, I no longer have direct access to my entire home network. Indeed, when I click on Networks in File Explorer, I only have access to the media server.

To access all the network (Ethernet currently), I have to deactivate the network, then reactivate it and hurry to click on network otherwise, it must be deactivated and reactivated again (see attached image).
Any Idea?
Regards

Setting up direct access to domain or network.

Original title : Microsoft Direct Access.

I am working on setting up Microsoft direct access for my company (unfortunately I have no idea what i am doing). I have a few questions regarding the setup.

1. Does direct access need to be on a domain controller? Can it just be a member server on the domain?

2. How does a client connect to the direct access server?

3. Does direct access require the certificates?

4. Can anyone help me with a simple step by step setup?

Thanks,

Andrew V

 

Error: Windows cannot access \\PC-Name, you do not have permission to access this pc. Contact your network administrator to request access, while trying to access one PC from another over network

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while accessing one PC from another PC over the network. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.

1. Are the entire PC’s running Windows 10 1809 build version?
   
2. Have you tried accessing the PC using IP address of the PC?
   
3. Are the PC’s connected to domain network?
   

I certainly appreciate your efforts in trying to resolve the issue by performing certain troubleshooting steps.



However, I would suggest you to refer the suggestions by

One computer cannot access other network computers.


So I've tried every troubleshooting step I know:

• Double checked that Net Bios was enabled
• Ran a bunch of network commands:
  • flushed DNS
  • registered dns
  • pinged and located the named computers successfully
• Reset my router to factory settings

Nothing works when I try to access via explorer. I'm still baffled by the fact that every other computer can access each other AND access this computer. It's just the outgoing connection from this machine that doesn't work.

Any thoughts?
