    Only some shared files show in Win10 Share


    I have two computers, one win10 and one win7. On a win10 file share, I can only see some files from the win7 computer. If I alter/save a file on the win10 computer, I can then see the file from the win7 computer. never since win3.11 have I seen anything like this. Windows file sharing is effing ridiculous... this is after the homegroup removal from the Win10 perspective. The homegroup had been left on the win7 machine. I have to reboot, however I'm sure it won't help.

    Anyone ever run into this situation before and know a solution?

    Thanks,

    :)

    Steam Game Sharing?

    This sounds pretty awesome, if true. There are a lot of old games I don't play that I'd be willing to share with friends, and there are some that I'd want to play but not sure about actually buying as well.
