To view them, you must use a Microsoft account or a Microsoft Entra ID account to sign in to Windows. To view these shared items, go to the File Explorer Home page and choose the Shared tab.

Also, the Recent, Favorites, and Shared sections of the page will show a broader set of file types.

  • Fixed: The date and time properties of a file might update after you copy it.

In the Network properties section, select Edit. To work with existing devices, the mobile hotspot will only use 6 GHz when you enable it.
