Windows 10: Windows 10 Can't Access Network Devices

Hello and thank you for reading about our little issue.


We have two computers that send job data to a router (not a network router, a router that cuts things). The routers themselves are dumb hard drives that we send data to and the machine reads the data; no permissions to deal with.


One of the computers is Windows 7 and the other is Windows 10. The Windows 7 computer can access the drives through the device name but the Windows 10 computer cannot. We get the typical "Windows cannot access \\192.168.2.103" (for example) or, if we try to access directly, we get the same error but with the device name and path that we tried.


If we scan the network from the computer that won't access the device, the scam shows the router we're trying to access so we see the IP number and the device name but using Windows file explorer, we can't access it.


Any suggestions for things to try would be hugely appreciated.


Thanks.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

windows 10 loosing local network access

Hi,

Well, frequently, I'm unable to access folders on my laptop (or desktop from laptop).
Then I run network troubleshooting and windows says me the same thing again: one or more network protocols are not installed and necessary for connectivity. Then I accept the correction and I can access my network until the next time it will fail and will say me the same thing. One day, perhaps 3 if I am lucky.
IT'S MASSIVELY BORING !! *Smile

Any clue ?
