    Hi Nero9112,

    It appears that on the image that you have provided, the network discovery is not selected. Have you also tried to connect to the machine using its IP address?

    I also suggest that you perform the additional methods on this article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/w...

    Please let me know how it goes. Thank you.

    Good day! I'm Raniel, a Microsoft user like you. I understand your frustration regarding this issue and I'll do my best to help.

    Just to clarify, is it working properly before? did you make any changes to your machine before encountering this issue?

    Kindly check if network discovery has been enabled on the device & Enable the SMB1 File Sharing Protocol as well

    1. Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center
    2. Click on Change Advanced Sharing Settings
    3. Select "Turn on network discovery" along with the checkbox "Turn on automatic setup of network connected devices" > then click on Save Changes
    4. Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > select "Turn Windows features on or off" on the left pane of the window
    5. Check the feature "SMB 1.O/CIFS File Sharing Support" then click on OK
    6. Perform a clean boot: https://support.microsoft.com/help/929135/how-t...
    7. Temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus, then check again

    I hope this helps. Good luck!

    I've tried all the things you listed beforehand except for clean boot, I'll do that sometime later. Yes this was working before and I did made changes to my computer but all I did was installed a new graphics card and RAM. Didn't mess with the boot drives or anything like that.
