    W10 1809 laptops on network can't see others


    This is MS's worst cluster in my experience. much worse than screwing with networking in XP or Win95. Unbelieveable that in 2019, there is no easy way to network several laptops with a plain vanilla desktop. Infuriating.

    Why should I have to dick around with SMB's and other internal setting just to get a tablet to see the desktop and share a printer?

    My desktop is named "HOME-PC". The laptop and tablet show "HOMENETWORK" in file manger/network, in addition to showing themselves. Why "HOMENETWORK"? - seems like an artifact name from years ago. The "HOMENETWORK" file is empty, and how do I get rid of it and get the laptops to see "HOME-PC"?

    All are running 1809 17763.379. What an unconscionable friggin' mess. Where is Apple when you need them?

    :)

    Laptop won't show list of available networks

    We suggest checking the list of available Wi-Fi networks on your laptop.

    Please follow these steps:

    • Click the Windows logo.
    • Go to Settings (gear icon).
    • Select Network and Internet.
    • Then Wi-Fi.
    • Make sure the Wi-Fi radio button is On.
    • Select Show available networks, then you'll be able to see the list of available Wi-Fi networks.

    Update us with the outcome so we provide further assistance.

    W10 1809 update freezes PC

    updating a Dell laptop from W10 1803. At 100% complete on W10 1809 update, it has frozen. Ctrl-Alt-Del & Power button have no effect.

    No idea on how I can reboot! Any ideas?
