For some reason, KB5035349 and KB5035942 ran in the early morning of 4/18/25. KB5035942 hasn't been an issue since then. Hopefully, this is the last I'll see of it. Thanks for all your help.

Well, at least I can access the other PC for now. What a lot of rigamarole. Also, got the sc config fdrespub depend= RpcSs/http/fdphost/LanmanWorkstation command to work by changing sc to sc.exe. Thanks pseymour.

This is really weird....I have an alternate ID I created as a backup and rescue in case something happened to my main ID. Haven't used it as any kind of sign on in years. As a last ditch effort, I tried it in the credential prompt and actually got in to the other PC. Don't know why the alternate...

I tried NetBScanner on both PCs. Running on mine, it shows the other PC only. Running on the other PC it shows my PC only.

Got this running the command: Set-Content : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'depend='. At line:1 char:1 + sc config fdrespub depend= RpcSs/http/fdphost/LanmanWorkstation + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo ...

I put my ID and password in Windows Credentials on the other PC and rebooted. When the other PC's icon appeared on my PC's Network area I selected it, got the credential sign on prompt, entered the ID and password I assigned for me on the other PC and hit enter. Got a message back saying the ID...

Thanks to both of you for the information. As far as the passwords go, those are the ones used to sign into your Microsoft account on Microsoft.com, correct? Also, the icon for the 'other' PC appears when I select Network on my PC. That is the one asking for credentials. However, when I select...

OK, let me get this straight. I did the first part of your instructions (GPEdit) on both PCs but when I try to access the other PC from mine, I still get the credential prompt. So, on my PC do I create a credential for the other PC (that PC IP address, user name, user password) and on the other...

All services are auto and running. Tried sc config fdrespub depend= RpcSs/http/fdphost/LanmanWorkstation from your post 17. I get: Set-Content : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'depend='. At line:1 char:1 + sc config fdrespub depend=...

Upgraded from a X670 to a X870 mobo (that's the only change in my system). I have the network assigned as 'Private, network discovery on, file sharing on, password protected sharing off'. I have a printer attached to my PC and the printer software installed on both PCs. When I start the printer...

I have fixed the issue. Apparently, something regarding my MS ID was corrupted in Windows after the new mobo install. I restored my C: drive from a Macrium backup from the morning of the install and now my Windows shows that it not only is activated but associated with my MS account, where it...

OK, I got with tech support today. In researching the problem, they had me sign off my normal MS ID account and into a 'local' account. I was surprised that I had the same desktop as my previous MS account, and they reassured me that nothing changed except the ID being local only. After much...

Made that call and activated Windows. However, I can't link my phone, can't sign on to PhoneLink or the XBox app. I've reset my password on the MS website. However, my new PC does not appear in the My Devices spot. How can I get it to be registered there?

Checked the BIOS and there was no WIFI options. Installed the two drivers from GIGABYTE and WIFI is now displayed and usable. Thanks everyone.

Yesterday I upgraded my mobo from a X670 to a X870 and installed a nre GPU but kept the same CPU. After the installation I found that Windows wasn't activated automatically, which I have never had after any installations before. I used the telephone option and was able to activate Windows...
