I just bought a new PC and am trying to connect to another computer by sharing on private network. My old computer was connected to the network and I have turned on network sharing etc and turned off password protection on new windows 11 computer.

I have changed manual to automatic on the 4 items recommended under services.msn

The windows 10 computer sees my windows 11 computer under network

How do i see the windows 10 computer in network on my windows 11 computer so I can connect by ethernet to Quickbooks as my old computer did.

Do I need to up date all computers to windows 11, same versions?

    Only works for windows 11 pro thou i think, i only have windows 11 home.#

    Good point. I assumed that one could simply edit the Registry to do the same thing if running the Home Edition.

    A little digging revealed this: https://www.stefanobordoni.cloud/howto-enable-insecure-guest-logon-on-w11/ 

    Hopefully this will help you.

    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,

    I had the same problem....bought a new laptop Win 11 Pro.....I set up and used my microsoft account to log into my computer and couldn't see anything attached to my net work. I have 2 other laptops....1 uses Win 11 Pro and the other Windows 10 Home

    The only way I could fix it was to change my log in with my new laptop to a local log in where I use the laptop password, not my account user name and password....while I would prefer using the MS account log in process as it is more secure, I couldn't see the other laptops attached to my network.

    Hope this helps.

    Nope. Still dead in the water.

    To @spencerhm517 suggestion that it's a Dell issue... my affected computer Is HP. And HP is pointing me to MSFT for a solution. MSFT is crickets.
