Unable to open files on another device in Windows 10
Unable to open files on another device in Windows 10
I'm struggling to fix this problem. I've finally got my PCs to communicate via File Explorer > Network, but now I'm encountering an error. The internet suggests making adjustments in gpedit.msc, yet even after installing it, the functionality isn't working properly because of missing features. My goal is simply to stream anime on my TV using my laptop without needing a USB drive to transfer files from my desktop, which holds them. How can I access these files? It used to be so straightforward with Homegroup in Windows 7...
It wasn't what I expected. That's the only result when I open my desktop in File Explorer > Network. I attempted to add gpedit.msc by using an installer from a link I found, but it didn't help either. I couldn't locate the gpedit.msc file to move from C:\Windows\SysWOW64 to C:\Windows\System32. I had to reinstall it. However, this guide is no longer functional since some sections are missing.
Consider installing the drive using a network share and assign the proper credentials. It seems the group policy adjustments aren't necessary. Since you likely don't have a domain or admin role, you probably don't need those settings.

I finally figured it out by disabling the password protection and then setting up a network share. Jeeeez.
Yup! That's straightforward. Another option is to reuse the same account and password across different systems. It's crucial to rely on reputable online sources (though that sounds easier said than done), then to experiment with things you don't fully grasp. Sadly, the internet is full of questionable content, particularly on YouTube. The group policy description explicitly mentions its impact on Remote Desktop functionality. I recommend checking your system for malware and viruses since you installed unauthorized pirated software that might have altered system files—fixing them isn't possible without restoring your system to a previous state using System Restore, performing a clean install, or identifying the modified files and copying them from another identical Windows 10 system. There could also be other unexpected changes, like the virus or malware you mentioned. I'm not implying anything, but it comes from a trusted source.
