I can't access other PCs on the network to get files. When I try from File Explorer, Windows Media Player opens in an offer to play music, etc. I have absolute zero interest in that function. DEV machine files are accessible to other PCs on the network. When I try to check Network and Sharing Center for sharing settings, I can't find that settings page anywhere. Any ideas on where I should look???

UPDATE: I found the problem. Shortcuts I was using to access drives on other PCs are no longer working. I can access some of those drives directly from File Explorer, but even a newly created shortcut won't work. Trying to access drives on 1 PC from File Explorer still causes Media Player to open for some reason. Maybe bugs just in this build.

So, the devices in the Network only show up as media devices?

Hi there
I had a problem with File explorer and Networked HDD's -- even with SMB1 enabled --it would show all the HDD's on remote computers but would not display any further directories on these HDD;s -- if you clicked on the disk(s) --nothing - no reaction etc.
This problem only occurred on a FRESH install of W11 -- on an update from any previous W11 version file explorer functioned correctly. Issues the same whether installed on a physical machine or running as a VM.

Cheers
jimbo

I may have to consider that. It's not working in 22458 either.

When I try to open a drive on 1 networked PC from my DEV machine, Windows Media Player pops up instead of the usual File Explorer window showing the drive contents. It doesn't happen on the other 3 PCs. There must be some way to correct that, but I haven't found it yet.

Hrm. Only thing I can think of is maybe that device has allowed network music sharing,, what is that thing we turn off in the Move \Users folder tutorial? Ahh, yes - WMPNetworkSvc

Seriously doubt that is the answer, but *something* somewhere is making Win11 think that one device is a streaming player and not an actual PC....

What devices show in Device manager --> Software devices?

In common with above, even 22000.194 has a very hit and miss access to shared network folders.

Also on my PC , the default SSID changed to an out of range and removed connection !
