Your "Technician" probably did similar while "blinding you with science" and trying to justify his fee !!!
Just go into add windows features in control panel and enable SMB1. Windows 10 (same for W11 too) on default new install doesn't enable SMB1 which Windows 7/8/8.1/XP all need for network access / sharing / browsing. I have the time, Microsoft has the money. So far myself and MS have spent 5 hours on this bug and they still have no clue why or how to fix it.Īt this point I know I can live without URL shortcuts working but I refuse to give in to a stupid machine without a fight. Original problem, URL shortcuts when clicked open printer dialog not web browser. The others while trying to fix that problem broke my network so this guy happily fixed it and sent me that email. Was on another problem on W10 that has so far baffled MS Support Level 1, level 2 and now I have a dedicated Level 3 tech on the job. Incidentally, having read this post through several times it looks a little confusing because of liberal use of the phrase "Username and Password" but I hope you understand what I am trying to say and I apologise for any confusion I may cause. If you need any further information then please let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. In this regard if anyone can shine a light on the problem it would be much appreciated, thank you very much. Surely there has to be a way that Windows 7 PCs can be made to see and talk to Win7 PCs without a Username and Password. I have tried reading up about Credentials but I don't have ANY credentials set but I can still see and talk to the Win7 PC as well as the other Win10 PC. We've never used network usernames or passwords since there are only the two of us in the house. Of course, the two Win10 PCs can also see and talk to one another without requiring a Username and Password. Neither can see or talk to the remaining Win10 PC without a Username and Password. However, if either Win10 PC is rebooted into Win7 then the same applies to them. However, this now means he cannot see or talk to the Win10 PCs without a Username and Password but I can see and talk to his PC as can the second Win10 PC. Now that Win10 has been released I have installed it on two of our PCs, both in dual boot configs my husband does not want Win10 on his PC yet and continues to use Win7. All PCs could see and talk to all other PCs without requiring a Username and Password. Before Windows 10 arrived I set up a Workgroup (as opposed to a Homegroup) at home with three Win7 PCs and a WinXP laptop.
