Windows 10: Troubleshooting Home network connections in Win 10 between 2 laptops connected to same WiFi

I have had 'some' help from Microsoft remote logon and 'some' success but it was short lived, so to be realistic networking at home has not worked on Win 10 for me.


Laptop 1 - Win 10 Pro 64-bit Version 1909, build 18363.592 with AVG Internet Security


Laptop 2 - Win 10 Home 64-bit Version 1909 " " " " "


Usual - ERROR CODE: 0x080070035

The network path was not found


Network discovery and folder share/advanced share options set to 'everyone' are the same on both computers and they sit only feet apart.


I have tried with AVG protection off and suspect AVG &/or Windows Firewall may be part of the problem too.


Any assistance or advise would be gratefully received

Laptop Sees Wireless Network but Cannot Connect To It

I have a small ASUS laptop that has recently had issues connecting to the home wifi network. After I type in the wifi password it displays a loading bar and then says Can't Connect to Network. I have tried every fix I could think of: disable/reenable adapter, uninstalling the adapter and reinstalling it, rebooting the laptop, rebooting the router, and troubleshooting the adapter. The laptop is running and Windows 10 and does not have an ethernet port. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Losing network connection

Hello Dear, if you have a laptop or a PC with a wireless network adapter, you can see a list of available wireless networks and then connect to one of those networks. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

2. In the left pane, under Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
In case, If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Refresh network list. If you see the network but the signal is weak, move the PC closer to the wireless router.

3. Click the network you want to connect to, and then click Connect.

4. If you're connecting to a secure network, type the security key, and then click OK.

I Hope you solve out your query soon.
