I have mostly solved this problem but one mystery remains. If I type "\\Computer B" in File Explorer of "Computer A" then it will give me access to the shared folders and drives hosted on "Computer B". So far so good. The mystery is that if I open File Explorer on "Computer A" then it will not...

I have a problem with disappearing shared drives and folders. Here is the setup for ease of discussion. Computer A: Windows 11 Home Computer B: Windows 11 Pro Computer C: Windows 7 Pro I use wireless networking. Until about 2 weeks ago, all drives between these 3 PCs were shared as intended...

I accidentally solved my problem. The confusion arises from what system account and password is being requested by the network credentials prompt. I tried every conceivable account name and password but when I finally entered my Microsoft OneDrive user name and password on my Windows 7 PC, I can...

I can't access any Win 11 folders from the Win 7 PC, not even the public ones.

This applies to a problem networking between a Win 11 PC and a Win 7 PC. I can successfully do 1-way file sharing. That is, the Win 11 PC can access shared files on the Win 7 PC. I cannot do file sharing in the opposite direction. That is, the Win 7 PC cannot access shared files on the Win 11...

I tried enabling SMBv1 as suggested. I still have the same problem. Public folders share between some Win 7 PCs and my Win 11 PC. I can't share any non-public folders or drives between Win 7 PCs and my Win 11 PC. I've also tried turning work groups on and off on the Win 7 PCs to no effect...

I built a new Windows 11 PC with the following specs pertinent to my question: BluRay drive 2 TB SSD External hard disk 32 GB RAM My question concerns data transfer by Windows 11. I want to copy several BluRay optical disks to an external hard drive. When copying the data, does the data flow...

I have tried every password and user combination that I know of. Nothing seems to work.

I have tried all of those things and none worked. I looked at the public folders, which work, and matched all of the settings. Still no success.

I tried enabling passwords as you suggested. It still failed, telling me that my password is incorrect even though it is correct.

I have a network file-sharing problem. I have 2 PCs, one running Windows 11 and the other running Windows 7. I can freely share files between the two PCs as long as I access files that are located in the "public" folder on the Windows 11 PC. If I try to access files on the Windows 11 PC that are...

Yes, I tried that and many other things. I had performed a system image backup before I started any of this thinking that this would be my ace in the hole if everything else failed. After trying many different things I finally did a system image restore which should have put everything back in...

I installed a NVIDIA Gt1030 graphics card on to my ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USBR motherboard. After installation the video appears to work as expected. The audio comes through on the HDMI cable as expected. The problem is with the analog audio output port on the rear panel. There is no audio from this...
