turning on file and printer sharing windows 10

Thank you for the update. What we can suggest now is to turn on File and Printer sharing in Command Prompt. Here are the steps to do it:

• Leave File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks turned
  on.
• Type CMD in the Search bar.
• Right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator.
• Type netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="File and Printer Sharing" new enable=Yes, and hit
  Enter.
• Exit from the command prompt, and check if it will work.

If issue persists, try turning it on using Powershell, and check if it works. Here are the steps:

• Leave File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks turned
  on.
• Type Powershell in the Search bar.
• Right-click on Windows PowerShell, and select
  Run as Administrator.
• Type netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="File and Printer Sharing" new enable=Yes, and hit
  Enter.
• Close PowerShell.

Let us know how it goes.

Since this is for sharing between a Windows 7 and Windows 10 PC, you may need to enable SMB1 on the Windows 10 PC if you haven't already from step 2 option 1 below in first link.

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

I suggest you to disable the SNMP option from Windows features and check if it helps.

To do that please follow the steps below:

• Type Windows feature in the search bar.
• Open Turn windows feature On or Off.
• Locate SNMP. Simple Network Management Protocol and Turn it off.

Please let us know to in future if you need further help.

Thank you.
