Hello,


Need help. Windows 10 v2004 on two machines 'A' and 'B'. on ethernet-connected home network.


Following Wednesday's updates to A that machine no longer appears on my local network.


B can see itself in File Explorer and in my 2-pane file manager but cannot see A.


A cannot see itself, but can see B using these GUI file tools.


However, using the command prompt, B can read directories, copy files etc from A.


I have checked all the networking settings on A - file & printer sharing, discovery, passwording off etc. They are all as they ought to be.


This happened once before in the past, but as it corrected itself, I didn't seek help.

Any ideas ??


Regards

Er, no. I'll see if I can find them. There's Bitdefender security as well. Suppose I'd better check both that and Windows 10.

Thank you for your reply.
