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...

Welcome to Win 10.

Have you tried that?


"In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to set up
and manage a HomeGroup to share resources with other users on your local
network."

Homegroup was removed from Windows 10 Version 1803. Version 1803.Â* 1803
reached end of service in 2019.


So, you reckon that wasn't such a helpful recommendation then? ;-)

I just remember, on my network, that we had some windows home and some
windows pro PCs. The two lots talked nicely among each other, but home
wouldn't talk to pro, and vv. Turned out to be to do with homegroup
being the default network for win home, and workgroup being the default
for pro. I'm pleased to hear that that particular pitfall has been removed.
