    Windows 11 failing to see other devices on network


    Hello, My Windows 11 laptop suddenly stopped seeing any devices on the network. It was working before and then suddenly stopped. The network has two network printers and one other PC, yet nothing shows on the Networks File explorer except for the router. Also, i am unable to connect to the IP address of the two network printers from any browser. I have Mcafee anti-virus. The situation is the same with firewall turned off or on. I am able to connect to the network printers' IP addresses from the browser on both my phone and other PC on network. Please note that this is currently the situation:

    :)

    a request for device descriptor request failed

    Maybe it's time to step back from the current efforts, and start over. I suggest you read over this excellent tutorial and try all of its steps: [Solved] Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) for Windows 10 - Driver Easy. The one that may provide you with some easy relief is the one where you uninstall the device whose descriptor is failing, reboot, and see what happens when device enumeration recurs during boot-up. If you're lucky, it will fix itself.

    Basic Network guide

    I'll be adding a small page on doing this in windows vista soon, since XP is the same with a step or two less, i assume people will figure it out.
