      I recently found out that Samba is off by default in Windows 10. It seems Microsoft changed that since I previously installed Windows. It could be the upgraded machines kept it switched on but the fresh install was off by default.
      Thanks, Bri, you do a great service by everything you show us.

    I've looked at multiple websites and videos claiming to be able to do what you've done (make computers that used to see each other do so again (one got a new hard-drive which I guess is where things got messed up)). But unlike so many others your video absolutely nailed it, in 10mins. You clearly know your stuff, thanks!!

    "Turn Windows features on or off --> SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support - TICKED" did it for me. No computers were showing on "network computer and devices", only media devices, network infrastructure and other devices. I don't understand why this is turned off. Who doesn't want to see computers in "network computer and devices"? Thanks so much, this was a very informative video.

    Great video Brian! I tried out to check my config (in French) and FYI it wasn’t that simple to identify the French name of services that have to be tuned. What would be really great is that you would provide either the file.msc you’re dealing with or why not explain how to check all this with the command line. What do you think? Kind regards.

    Referred to this excellent video many times trying to get two computers to see each other on a home network. Made all the changes described without success. Subsequently discovered related articles mentioning network resets. Performed one on each computer and now they see each other as planned. In addition, doing so didn't change any of the settings detailed in this video. Only glitch seems to be that every so often, one of the computers will disappear and a network reset is again required. And no, no windows update has occurred to cause this. My only complaint with network reset is that it takes over 5 minutes to complete but otherwise seems harmless as it relates to impacting anything else negatively.

    ADDITIONAL TIP for VPN users. Make certain that the "Invisibility on LAN" setting is turned off for both computers. On a private network the only computers that will able to see others are those already on the network. Should you want to isolate a machine temporarily, you can turn the "Invisibility on LAN" setting on without making any other changes to the computer you want to isolate and off to return the computer to visibility.

    I have this problem from time to time and the only way I can get it all to work again is to reset the network on any machine that cannot be seen. Agree that all the points in this video also need to be checked but the final step if all else fails is reset network. I do not know why but it does seem to work. Reset network is easily found on the bottom of the Network and Internet Status settings form.

      "separate"
      Note that your don't just access 'drives', you access 'objects' known as 'Shares' - a noun, like shares in a company. You have to make shares and make them available on machines that you want to access (give them suitable permissions too). Then from another computer you go looking for those shares.

      Hibernate is actually hidden in Windows 10. You have to go to the "Power Options" section in the "Control Panel" to make it show up. Once there, click on "Choose what the power buttons do." Then once there, you'll see the "Hibernate" option check box under "Shutdown Settings." It most likely will be grayed out. To get to this option Click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable." This should enable those options. Now you can click the "Hibernate" feature and activate it. It will now show up in the start menu where you can shut down your computer.

    Followed this to the "T" and although my pc can see other systems the other systems cannot see my pc and I made sure the others systems followed this video to the "T" as well - triple checked settings. The both have the osbuild 1904.329 . The one system that is not showing after the chaanges is running windows home the others one is running windows pro. Any other suggestions?

    I am struggling trying to connect 3 Windows PCs together.
    If I do it right should I end up with being able to see the Blue Boxs of the computers names and the name of each Computer under File Manager / Networks on the left hand pane?
    Eg Netwroks
    Machine1
    Machine2
    Machine3
