    Phone not showing in Network


    Hello all,

    This scenario has had me perplexed for the past few days, it's not so much an issue; rather the fact I do not understand.
    As it is now, both my smartphone and PC are connected to the same private WiFi network, now what I have discovered is any other computers, including game consoles appear in my network once connected to the WiFi, however despite this my smartphone does not appear. I'm not entirely sure why this is the case but any additional information would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Network Adapters not showing in Network & Sharing Center (and adapter not supporting GB)

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    This could be due to incompatibility of the driver in Windows 10.

    Step 1: I would recommend installing the same driver in compatibility mode and check.

    a. Right click the driver installation file and select
    Properties then tap or click the Compatibility tab.

    b. Place a check in the Run this program in compatibility mode for:
    box.

    c. Tap or click the drop down box and select a previous operating system, then tap or click
    OK.

    d. Try installing the driver and check.

    You may refer to: Make older programs compatible with this version of
    Windows     (information holds good for Windows 10 as well)

    Step 2: Place the computer in clean boot state and check.

    To help troubleshoot error messages and other issues, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This kind of startup is known as a "clean boot." A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.



    Placing your system in Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. You need to follow the steps from the article mentioned below to perform a Clean Boot.



    How to perform a clean boot in Windows



    Note:
    Refer "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting" to reset the computer to start as normal after troubleshooting.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.
