Can confirm. And have you verified the specific folders you're trying to access actually have sharing permissions enabled?

Same here. You could also double-check that both PCs are set to the same network profile, like Private, in your Windows network settings.

Agreed, and also make sure file and printer sharing is allowed in the firewall on both computers. Let me know if that works.

Yeah, You could also double-check that both PCs are set to the same network profile, like Private, instead of Public.

This. Another option is to verify the specific folder's sharing permissions, not just the general network settings.

This happened to me. I had to go into the firewall settings and make sure "File and Printer Sharing" was allowed on both private and public networks. Let me know if that works.

+1 You could also double-check that file and printer sharing is allowed through the Windows Defender firewall on both computers.
