Windows 10 is working fine on my laptop, but on the desktop I’m facing problems. I need to connect to the printer through the home network, but I haven’t configured anything special—Network discovery and sharing are both enabled on both devices.

Ensure SMBv2 is activated on both machines. Verify this by running "Get-SmbServerConfiguration | Select EnableSMB2Protocol" in an admin PowerShell session. If the result shows false, activate it with "Set-SmbServerConfiguration –EnableSMB2Protocol $true". When problems persist, confirm all related services are enabled and configured to auto-start: DNS Client, Function Discovery Provider Host, Function Discovery Resource Publication, Peer Networking Grouping, HomeGroup Provider, HomeGroup Listener, SSDP Discovery, and UPnP Device Host. Also, verify the PCs belong to the same workgroup.
