Windows File Sharing

I don’t even understand how that makes sense. I did fresh installs of multiple operating systems, command prompt entries, restarts, sign in/sign outs, and I still couldn’t get that fucker to refresh. I’m sorry to say this, but I can’t say I believe you.

Pretty sure you are talking for this screen ( correct me if I am wrong )

Yes, that is the window I’m talking about.

Should I make a video or are you a believer now ?

Well, I’m not saying you have to make a video either. Posting an image of the Network window doesn’t really prove anything if that’s what you were hoping for.

usually windows home group does the trick for windows file sharing. if that does not work then adding a network drive to both computers and adding the files to the share drive works in most cases. ( windows 7 ultimate on 2 machines 8.1 pro on third your mileage may vary.) last option is a direct link between devices with no routers or switches involved and using SMB or other P2P connection (slower but a little more robust)
