You are my hero tonight! Seriously, there are not enough thumbs up on the internet for you right now. I spent the last ~3 - 4 hours bashing my brain trying to get network file sharing to work between my laptop and my work station. I would like to share large files back and forth between them without having to use large USB drives. I was told I could do this via networked file sharing.
I enabled network discovery on both machines in the Advanced sharing settings. Both computers on are the same network (my home WIFI). I also enabled nearby sharing and Share across devices on the Shared Experiences page.
Despite this, no matter how many times I refresh the network tab in the file explorer, the devices would not show up. Then I followed the steps in your video, opened up the services ap, turned Functional Discovery Resource Publication to automatic, and also did the same for UPnP and SSDP discovery.
