    Suddenly sharing not working


    I know this topic has been done to death, but I can't find anyone with the same situation as me.

    I have a cabled network with two PC's; PC A is Win 10 Pro v1709 and PC B is Win 10 Home v1709.

    Until recently I have been able to seamlessly share files, in either direction, between the two PCs.

    2 days ago I turned on PC B after not using it for a few months. I was able to browse to PC B from PC A without any problems. After a while Win 10 updated itself (to 1709) and now I can only browse from PC B to PC A, not the other way.

    If I go to 'Network' on PC B I can see PC A and B in the Computer section, but on PC A there is only PC A itself; PC B shows up under 'Other Devices', but that only opens a page with PC B's properties.

    Nothing else has changed (apart from the Win 10 update), so any idea how I can fix this?

    :)

    Windows 10 Mail and Calendar won't open after installing Office 2010

    I am also suddenly having this problem. Mail App suddenly stopped working. No error message, just click and nothing happens. My partner and I share a computer and his mail app works just fine. But now he's nervous that his will stop working too.

    Grrr!

    Suddenly sharing not working

    Win+R->Services.msc
    On Both PC's, Check the following services and set to Automatic (Default is Manual but sometimes doesn't start). If not running then Start the service(s)

    • UPnP Device Hos
    • DNS Client
    • SSDP Discovery
    • Function Discovery Provider Host
    • Function Discovery Resource Publication
    Power cycle the router. Reboot both PC's
