First, open the Start menu and type in “Network.” Click on “Network Proxy Settings,” scroll down and click on “Status,” then click on “Change Adapter Options.” Right-click on your adapter (Ethernet or Wireless) and select “Properties.”
Click on “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IP v4)” and select “Configure.” Click on “Properties” and make sure that “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically” are selected. Click on “OK.”
Next, go back to the previous screen and click on “Sharing options for the network.” Expand the “Private view” and make sure that “Network discovery” is turned on and “Automatic setup of network connected devices” is checked. If it’s turned off, turn it on and click on “Save Changes.”
Now, open the Start menu and type in “Programs and Features.” Under “Settings,” click on “Turn Windows Features on or off.” Scroll down to “SMB” and make sure that everything is checked. If not, check them and click on “OK.”
