Port 445 (smb) not listening

[FrancoisAllard]

Hi,
I am trying to enable file sharing between some PC on a local network. I am using Windows 10 Pro on the PC that I want to share. I can't get the file sharing to work even when turning off the firewall. Upon investigation, I can see that there is no process listening on port 445 (smb) when I use the following command:

netstat -ao | find "445"

I am not sure what to check next..
