I have a new windows 11 computer but i can't see the windows 10 computer on the network. The windows 10 computer on the network can see my windows 11 computer.

This video showed a setting I had not previously changed (though everything else was as shown already) however windows 11 still can't open folders on my networked windows 10 laptop.
It can see it the other computer listed OK and I can also access a portable drive attached to router USB.

What's really annoying is that the windows 10 laptop and a windows 10 desktop can access shared folders the new windows 11 laptop just fine. But try the other way ad Windows11 implies I can't spell the computer name - that it clearly shows is visible on the network.
It's also annoying it invites you to diagnose the problem only to immediately announce it can't find a problem.

It really shouldn't be necessary to fiddle about with obscure hidden settings at all, though it has sometimes been a bit confusing it has always previously been relatively easy to just click the appropriate settings in network and sharing and your shared folders and files are just there.

I remember buying a PC with Windows 10 home thinking it was Windows Pro. Remember Windows is registered with your computer's bios chip so if you get a "pirated" version, if you ever have to do a clean install you will have added steps to re-install, real PITA.

I only bought a new laptop as the price was too hard to give up....$850 Canadian for an Lenovo E16 Gen 2 with 16gb ram....1 TB SSD and Windows 11 Pro. More importantly Windows 10 is coming to end of life, Had my windows 10 laptop for 7 years and never a problem but concerned for security updates etc. But the price for a new one was too good to give up. So much for the environment!!!

That being said, if you keep your laptop 7 years think of it as only spending $15 for the upgrade....I also assume when Windows 12 comes you will qualify for a free upgrade. If you're running an older laptop with Windows 11 home maybe wait.....windows 12 may not run on your current configuration. The laws need to change....I see no reason why a computer meets my needs has to be thrown out because software companies no longer provide security updates.

You can try this.......when doing the last update I couldn't see any computer connected to my laptop. This worked for me

Very helpful video Dennis. Thank you.
Say, do you have any similar advice for those of us who may have just dropped over a grand on a new Windows 11 PC only to find out it has Windows Home instead of Pro (no Group Policy Editor)?

Frankly, I'm not interested in paying Microsoft another $100 to upgrade to Pro just so that I can find some obscure setting that fixes what used to work 3 weeks ago before 14H2.

It's Windows 11 Home Edition

Version 23H2

OS build 22631.4602

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1055.0

I had the problem when windows 11 pro upgraded to 24H2.....so I restored a back up and I could see other computers on the net work . I re-installed the update and got the same problem. After making the change I can see other devices on the network,
