I have been all through these various "solutions" on numerous new computers. Nothong seems to work. I have been dealing with this sort of problem for years. Why does Microsoft make networking so hard and then they offer up the same old boilerplate "solutions" that never seem to work? 0 comments No comments I have the same problem.

I'm sorry to hear you're having this problem, and I hope I can assist you to find a satisfactory solution. I'll put below some steps you can try to resolve the issue: Check network sharing settings: On the Windows 11 computer, ensure that network sharing is enabled and configured correctly. Follow these steps: Open the Settings app (Windows key + I) on the Windows 11 computer. Go to "Network & Internet" and select "Sharing" from the left sidebar. Make sure that network discovery and file sharing are turned on. Enable the necessary sharing options, such as sharing files and printers, as per your requirements. If applicable, select the specific users or groups that should have access to the shared resources. Verify folder or drive permissions: On the Windows 11 computer, check the permissions of the shared folders or drives. Ensure that the Windows 10 user account has the necessary permissions to access the shared resources. You can modify the permissions by following these steps: Right-click on the folder or drive you want to share and select "Properties." Go to the "Sharing" tab and click on "Advanced Sharing." Click on "Permissions" and ensure that the Windows 10 user account or the "Everyone" group has the appropriate permissions. Allow Windows 10 in the Windows 11 firewall: On the Windows 11 computer, ensure that the Windows Firewall allows incoming connections from the Windows 10 computer. Follow these steps: Open the Windows Security app on the Windows 11 computer. Go to "Firewall & network protection." Click on "Allow an app through firewall." Ensure that "File and Printer Sharing" is allowed for both private and public networks. Check Windows 10 network profile: On the Windows 10 computer, verify that the network profile is correctly set to Private or Trusted. This ensures that network sharing and access permissions are applied appropriately. You can check and change the network profile by following these steps: Open the Network and Sharing Center on the Windows 10 computer. Locate the active network connection and click on it. In the Network Profile section, ensure that it is set to Private or Trusted. Use specific credentials: If the Windows 11 computer is part of a domain or uses different credentials, try accessing it using specific credentials. When prompted for credentials, enter the Windows 11 computer's username and password explicitly. Are all these configurations ok? Please note: This is a user-to-user community forum.

Do you think, reinstalling windows 11 would work? 0 comments No comments Thank you for detailed reply ViniciusMU I have tried all of these steps. However, the issue persists.
