Default Win10 Sharing.

This PC (well, the one on this workstation) is cabled to my Lan. New
laptop WI-Fi. Have done all the usual tricks to get them to talk to one
another - printed out a booklet off the internet with the 7 most likely
problems with file sharing. And followed them all through.

The laptop doesn't see this PC at all. This one sees the laptop, but only
some files can be shared - despite sharing being set to the same on all.

With users, public files share OK. those under my user name say I haven't
got permission. But all the folders and files in users set to share in the
same way.

Neither machine is set to need a log in after booting.

It was all so easy with Win7...


Win7 had SMB 1.0 enabled by default. For Windows 10 it is disabled by
default due to vulnerabilities.

To enable in Win 10
Open Control Panel
Click on Programs
Click on Turn Windows features on or off link
Expand the SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support option
Check the SMB 1.0/CIFS Client option
Click OK and restart

This may resolve your issue.
