Unable to share files in my LAN

Hi all, I have two Windows 10 PC's in my home LAN (connected to same wired router). I would like to be able to transfer files between them. I have followed all steps in this guide and verified all requirements comply with it. When I open Windows Explorer and then click on Network in one PC I see the other PC listed, but when I double click on the PC I don't see any shared folder listed,not even the Public folder, instead I see the following error, any hint? Thanks

Unable to Access Shared Files on Local Network after Windows Update

After a recent Windows update, I have been experiencing difficulties accessing shared files on my local network. Prior to the update, everything was working smoothly. However, since the update, attempts to connect to shared folders result in an error message, and I'm unable to browse or retrieve files from other computers on the network.

Error Message: "The specified network name is no longer available."

Steps Taken to Resolve the Issue:

1. Checked network connections and verified that all devices are connected to the same network.
   
2. Confirmed that sharing is still enabled on the folders I am trying to access.
   
3. Restarted both the local machine and the remote machines on the network.
   
4. Disabled Windows Firewall temporarily to ensure it's not causing the issue.
   
5. Reviewed the event logs for any relevant error messages, but found none.
   

Additional Information:

• All computers on the local network are running Windows 10.
  
• No recent changes were made to network configurations before the issue started.
  
• The issue is persistent across different user accounts on the affected machine.
  

I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to resolve this network sharing problem after the recent Windows update. Thank you!
