    One Microsoft Account device does not see the other in Network


    I have two devices linked to my Microsoft Account, a Windows 10 desktop and a Windows 10 laptop. Both devices are showing in my account. When I go to File Manager > Network on the laptop, it shows itself and the desktop on the list of computers. The problem is that, when I do the same on the desktop, all it shows is itself. I cannot get it to see the laptop no matter what I do. Restarting both computers does no good. Neither does logging out and back in.Both PCs are set up for file sharing, both have the same Network and Sharing Center settings, and both are logged in with my Windows Hello

    :)

    Microsoft Account devices list.

    Thank you for your clarification. Networking queries are much more common and the wording suggested that.

    Unknown devices on my Microsoft account

    Hello Flemmingk, One Microsoft Account device does not see the other in Network :)

    Could these other devices be from friends that you may have signed in to your Microsoft account on for something?

    Either way, you can remove these devices.

    Afterwards to be safe, I would recommend to change the password of your Microsoft account, and enable two-step verification if you haven't already.
