Windows 10 prevents local network access.
Windows 10 prevents local network access.
Hello everyone, I faced a problem where my laptop couldn't reach my LAN devices, servers, and switches. When I enter the IP of my NAS at '10.0.0.20', Chrome shows a firewall blocked message. I've allowed all IPs in Windows Defender and Bitdefender, but the issue persists. My LAN desktop and my brother's laptop with Wi-Fi work fine, so it must be something else. I also tried pinging devices on the router, which returned "General Failure." I checked my DNS server thinking that might be the cause and flushed it in CMD, then changed it to 1.1.1.1 to rule out any DNS or VLAN configuration issues, since I have subnet blocking enabled for one Wi-Fi network.
