SOLVED Workgroup Computers Listed As Media Devices

[Don Meng]

When I click on Network in Windows Explorer only two of my WORKGROUP computers are listed under the Computer heading. Two others are listed as media devices. I'd like to access the two media devices as workgroup computers. Why is this happening and how to fix it? Thanks.

Hi Don,

Have you checked whether you have Media Streaming turned on?

In search box type Manage Advanced Sharing Settings

Upon doing further research I needed to turn media streaming off.
