Windows 10: Trouble filesharing between PCs, WIN 10 and Win 11

QUOTE:Like millions of people, I've had troubles filesharing between PCs.Peer computers just don't show up in File Explorer Network.Even the PC you're presently sitting at doesn't show up. How can that be.From tons of online advice and folklore, I learned the trick is to restart the Function Discovery Resource Publication service. FDResPubI made a permanent fix by creating a pair of TaskScheduler tasks that stop then start the FDResPub service 30 seconds later, each login.But that feels so uncomfortable. It's such a hack.Instead, here's a clean way to fix it: Add a startup dependency to th

Trying to connect to a printer that is physically on a Win 10 computer from a Win 11 computer to no avail.

Hello Geldman,

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble connecting to your printer. Since you’ve already tried the solutions suggested on the internet, here are a few more things you can try:

1. Make sure that the printer is shared on the Win 10 computer. To do this, go to the printer properties on the Win 10 computer and check the box next to “Share this printer” in the Sharing tab.
   
2. Ensure that the printer is visible to other devices on the network. To do this, go to the printer properties on the Win 10 computer and check the box next to “List in the directory” in the Sharing tab.
   
3. Try disabling any firewalls or antivirus software temporarily on both the Win 10 and Win 11 computers to see if that resolves the issue.
   
4. Check if the printer is compatible with Windows 11. You can check the manufacturer’s website for the latest drivers and software for your printer.
   
5. Try connecting the printer to a different USB port on the Win 10 computer.
   
6. If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting the printer to its default settings and then setting it up again.
   

I hope one of these solutions works for you,

Problem to access a win 10 pc from a win 11 pc on my network

Upgrade Win 10 to Win 11 failed

Have PC with 4 partition managed by EasyBCD,

1. Boot partition (500M, active partition)

2. Win 7 (140G)

3. Win 10 (120G, my production machine, boot by default)

4. Win 7 (140G, play partition)

Recently try to upgrade partition 3 to Win 11. Upgrade steps seem to work smoothly until it reach 100%.

Then I get message "PC will restart in few moments"

Then I get "Win11 installation has failed"

I check the srttraic.txt file and found the folloing:

"Root cause found: No OS files found on disk

Repair action: Partition table repair

Result: Failed error code 0X20"

However, I seem to have no problem to boot my Win10 without error even the installation has failed.

Some trouble shooting from my side.

1. I am able to boot Win 7 or Win 7 (play partition) if I use a disk manager to set these partition to active.

2. I am not able to do so if I set Win 10 partition as active, I have to set the 500M boot partition and select Win 10 from boot menu.

3. I boot Win 10 installation disk from USB and try to repair my Win10 partition, but repair failed.

4. I backup the whole disk, set Win 7 partition as active, I can upgrade this partition from Win 7 to Win 10 and to Win 11.

5. Si I believe my PC hardware is no problem to support Win 11.

How can I recover my Win 10 partition without loosing my application so It can be boot without the boot partition?
