Windows 10: Windows 10 : Error 0X80070035 NETWORK PATH NOT FOUND

This error is on a Windows 10 laptop, not the Win 7 desktop.

Searching for answers to this issue I found solutions that are relative to a situation that seem to be where all network devices are affected. This situation is different in that only one network device/computer out of five has the problem, and only on one computer.


In File Explorer\Network on the Laptop, there are five network devices listed.

Laptop – Win 10 – connects and accesses files

Main-Computer – Win 7 – 0x80070035 Network Path Not Found

Office-Computer – Win 7 – connects and accesses files

NAS – connects and accesses files

Epson Printer – connects and prints files

• 
  The Laptop can connect to and access files on the Office-Computer, NAS, and can print to the Networked printer, but when I click on the Main-Computer, I get the 0x80070035 Network Path Not Found error immediately. However, the Main-Computer can connect to and access files on the Laptop.
  
  
• 
  The Office-Computer can connect to and access the files on the Main-Computer, NAS, Laptop, and print to the networked printer.
  
  
• 
  The Main-Computer can connect to and access the files on the Laptop, Office-Computer, NAS, and print to the networked printer.
  
  
• 
  User Names and passwords have been applied throughout the network, and I doubt it is a credentials issue, since the process for the Laptop to connect to the Main-Computer doesn’t even get to checking the credentials. The Laptop simply can’t get to the Main-Computer from either of its two user accounts – one admin and one standard.
  
  
• 
  Advanced IP Scanner sees the Laptop and the Main-Computer, and shows the correct IP address, MAC address, and computer name for both.
  
  
• 
  I have checked and rechecked the sharing and permissions settings on both the Laptop and the Main-Computer, and I have checked and rechecked the router settings.
  
  
• 
  All of the associated network services are running.
  
  
• 
  All are in the same Workgroup.
  
  
• 
  In other words, the network is operating as it should, except for this one isolated error. Therefore, this is a narrow, singular issue that seems to be with the Laptop.
  

***Moved the thread from Windows 10 Category***I moved it back to Win 10 because that is where the issue is.

Error 0x80070035 The Network Path Was Not Found

Hello,

I'm having an issue connecting to a fresh install of Windows 10 Home, from a Windows 10 Pro Laptop.

I have set up a bunch of shares on the desktop (computer name HTPC), and can access them from that computer directly when I navigate to \\HTPC.

However, when I try to connect from my laptop (on the same network), it shows up on the list of devices in my network, but when I try to open it, I get the Error 0x80070035 The Network Path Was Not Found.

Any suggestions?

I've already turned off password protected sharing (I want these files totally open to anyone on network). I am trying to avoid the use of a homegroup, as there are other non-windows devices which will eventually need to connect as well.
