Network file sharing not working between Windows 11 & Windows 10

Hello, we have an office where there are several Desks, recently one of the employees upgraded their computers from windows 10 to windows 11, we had all of the computers set up for Local file sharing over the network, now for some reason since the upgrade, the Win11 PC can still see all the other Win10 PC's but none of the Win10 PC's can see or access the Win11 PC, we checked all the settings, and nothings changes, SMB is enabled on all PC's, and running same IP address's, file sharing in the network sharing center is still all turned on.

Any idea what caused this?

Thanks

    Hi, my name is Anderson Souza, I hope I can help you with your issue.

    Does the Windows 11 computer respond to PING test?

    Have you tried to disable the firewall temporarily on that computer?

    If you run \Windows11-PC-HostName or \Windows11-PC-IP-Address on the run Window (Win+R) on any Windows 10 PC do you get any error message?
