  1. Weird computer recognition problem


    I have two Windows 10 computers on a home network. Computer A (v 1909) is connected to the router via Cat 5; computer B is connected via wireless. Computer B has problems seeing Computer A (v 2004) on the network. After reading countless remedies on various forums I finally found a fix that works for a few days:
    =====
    On the computer you cant see: Go to services (Windows+R; type services.msc)\Function Discovery Provider Host. Right click-properties. Click Stop if running. Set startup type to Automatic (delayed start). Apply, OK & reboot.

    Then go to services (Windows+R; type services.msc)\Computer Browser\right click-properties & set startup type to Automatic.
    =====
    This works for a while then after a few days computer B cannot see computer A using File Explorer. But computer B can still print to the printer connected to computer A. And computer B can access Word and Excel files on computer A by clicking on the files in the "recent documents" list.

    Why can't computer B see computer A using File Explorer?

    :)

    Facial recognition

    Hello Bill,

    We need to do further investigation on your concern so that we will know why the facial recognition quit working:

    • Have you recently made any changes/updates prior to this issue?
    • Is there an error message when you try to sign using facial recognition?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?

    In the meantime, I would suggest that you perform the troubleshooting steps in this
    article.

    We will wait for your response.

    Regards.
