    Hello, SnappyFun.

    My name Is Alonso, I am an independent advisor.

    To help you with your problem follow these steps.

    1. Search for "Advanced Sharing Settings" in the Windows search bar and then click Manage advanced sharing settings.
    2. Click the down arrow to expand the private section.
    3. Now check the "Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections (recommended)" box.
    4. Finally, click the Save Changes button to save your change.

    I hope they are helpful, keep me informed.

    Have you tried to forget the network, disconnect each device and redo the configuration you had?

    I recommend a stronger alternative, which is to restore the network configuration, which you can do with the following steps

    Enter the start menu or press Win + I.

    Open Settings.

    Now click on Networks and Internet.

    Inside, choose the Status option that you will see in the menu on the left.

    Within the Settings on the right pane, click on network reset.

    The moment you press network reset in Windows 10, all the operating network adapters will be removed and reinstalled, to restore the original settings.

    I hope it helps

    There is nothing in advance share/private share that allows me to use that windows feature

    This is Windows Pro if that makes a difference. Nothing I can find under programs and features either for windows to manage this.

    Thanks for your help.
