Windows 10: Windows cannot access \\localhost - Error 0x80004005

Since more than a year now I have this nagging problem. My computer is Windows 10 and the current build is 1809, 17763.678. 127.0.0.1 as well as \\ipaddress fail as well, though ping 127.0.0.1 from Command Prompt works OK. I’ve added 127.0.0.1 localhost and ::1 localhost to the hosts file but still the same problem.​

I’ll appreciate any advice from those geniuses with intimate knowledge on TCP/IP in Windows.​

Thanks,​

Hohey​

Access localhost from another computer

Localhost, as the name suggests, points at the localhost. Use the hostname or IP from your computer on their PC's. ie something in the 192.168.x.x or 10.0.0.x range most likely.
