Windows 7 Network Windows 10 cannot access Windows 7 machine but sees it.

[Franz47]

Several Windows 10 machines in my home network communicating without problem. Some month ago I added a Windows 7 machine, which was accessible for a while, thereafter it was only found but no files accessible any more. Now another newly installed Windows 7 machine shows the same problem. I have activated NETBIOS in the Windows 7 network card, tried with DHCP and static IP-address, still it is recognized via WSD by the Windows 10 machine and not NETBIOS. I have tried to share folders - no change.

Error code 0x80070035 I found no solution in the web.

Is there any unsolvable problem to have a Windows 10 access a Windows 7 machine?

Any idea where to find a solution?

Wow, unbelievable. It worked!!! After spending many frustrating hours finally the solution.
The explanation is that access to the original Win 7 installation worked when it had not installed the updates. After a few days it got all the updates including the toxic KB4480970.
Thank Your very much. Hopefully the advice spreads.....

You are welcome but you should rather thank to the guy (Ricardo) who posted the solution. Look at the comments section, below the tutorial:
