Windows 11 update 24H2 changes network access

It seems that a variety of these postings has worked for me....at least once the computers on my home PRIVATE network FINALLY hook up they seem to stay that way. Waiting for update Tuesday tomorrow to see if I can still have all 3 of mine see each other like they used to. For now I am happy with all the workarounds that seem to have contributed equally and severally to allowing me to network with my 3 computers ALL the time once they finally hook up and stay that way. Seems to NOT BE an exact science. Took myself off of PREVIEW too >>>> Don't Do It !!!!

Wish it had worked for me. Didn't though.

Not only NO but hell NO. I can play with settings for a bit, see all the shares, then boom next time I look they are gone. MicroTurd broke something that was working very well. If someone has a real answer that will not insult my 24 years of Windows intelligence and experience, please post. Else going to wait for fixes to 24H2, a total POS.

I have been working with computers from 1967, longer than you, I think. 😂😂😂😂

All I did was trying to work around the current bug that MS added, while I wait for their fix.

My network works fine for now.

You are on your own.

Good luck waiting for MS. They have unresolved problems with the network that have been going on for years. 🤬

This works for me, thx a lot

 

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

Based on your description, here are some possible solutions to help you fix the tethering problem and find the settings accordingly.

1. Check the Network & Sharing Center settings:

Open "Settings" -> "Network & Internet" -> "Advanced Network Settings" -> "Network & Sharing Center" and click "Change Advanced Sharing Settings". Make sure that both the "Enable Network Discovery" and "Enable File and Printer Sharing" options are enabled.

2. Check the network profile type:

Open "Settings" -> "Network & Internet" -> "Ethernet" or "Wi-Fi". Click the name of the network you are connected to and make sure that the network profile type is set to VPC.

3. Enable SMB 1.0/CIFS file sharing support:

Open Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Enable or Disable Windows Features. Find and check "SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support" and click "OK".

4. Make sure the service is activated:

Press the Win + R keys, type services.msc and press Enter.

Ensure that the following service is started and set to automatic: Function Discovery Provider Host

Function Discovery Resource Publication

SSDP Discovery

UPnP Device Host

5. Use Local Security Policy Settings:

Press the Win + R keys, type secpol.msc, and press Enter.

Go to "Local Policies" -> "Security Options".

Ensure that Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication Level is set to Send LM and NTLM Responses.

6. Reset network settings via Command Prompt:

Open a command prompt as an administrator and run the following command:

netsh int ip reset

netsh advfirewall reset

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

ipconfig /flushdns

7. Check and modify shared folder permissions:

Right-click the folder you want to share and select Properties. Go to the "Sharing" tab and click on "Advanced Sharing". Make sure the "Share this folder" option is ticked and grant read or write permission to "Everyone" in "Permissions".

8. Check your firewall settings to make sure File & Printer Sharing is allowed through the firewall.

 

I hope the information above is helpful.
