    "share with" file option has a strange string of numbers and letters


    When I click on a folder to share it, it gives me the usual homegroup options. However, there is another option now and I don't know what it is. It's a string of 20 numbers and letters. See the attached picture for reference.

    Thanks

    :)

    Windows 10 fax and scan can not access the documents folder

    Highlighting "share with" only brings 3 options; "Stop Sharing", "Create or Join a Home Group", or "Specific People". No bunch of letters and numbers.

    my phone " keys in " some numbers while talking

    As I said in my first post you can either try to update it's software to see if it cures it.

    If it doesn't then your phone is faulty and you will need to get it repaired.
