Hi i have just upgraded my two windows 7 computers to windows 10 both are running ok but i have a small problem connecting to my local network.
I don't use homegroup i just set certain folders to share with full permission both these computers are in my house juust in different rooms.
With windows 7 this worked ok buy now on windows 10. on one computer i can see both computers, but on my laptop i am not able to see my other computer
when i click the network icon but they will not connect
I get the message Windows cannot access\\laptop and when i click on Diagnose it still will not let me connect to the other computer
Also just a i click on the network icon i saw my two computers and my router plus i saw a phone (Not my phone) i clicked on it and it came up with the phone type and then it went off.
Is this someone on my network or is it this new Microsoft thing where windows 10 lets other users use your bandwidth if so how do i turn it off please
Ps the phone has just come back on the network, see screenshot
