Solved Win 11 computers don't see one another in network, but win 10 is fine

I have 3 computers in a network at my home. 2 are Win 11 and one if Win 10. IN my win 10, under file explorer networks, I see the 2 win 11 computers and sharing works fine. But on both Win 11 computers, neither one sees the other win 11 but both can see the Win 10. What's the fix?

Try This for both Win11 Computers

In Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features\Turn Windows Features on or off.
Check if there are No Ticks are on SMB 1.0/CIFS Client and SMB 1.0/CIFS Server Only a tick on SMB Direct

Make Sure you are on a Private Network NOT Public

Next go into Group Policy (Pro Version Only) gpedit.msc

Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local Policies, Security Options
Double click on Microsoft Network Client: Digitally sign communications (always)
Double click on Microsoft Network Client: Digitally sign communications (if server agrees)
Double click on Microsoft Network Server: Digitally sign communications (always)
Double click on Microsoft Network Server: Digitally sign communications (if server agrees)
Set all of these to "Disabled"
Click on OK.

Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, Network, Lanman Workstation
Double click on "Enable Insecure Guest Logons"
Set this to "Enabled"
Click on OK.

Reboot

I did it all, except not sure how to change from a public network to a private here's a screenshot

Make sure all Computers are on Private and reboot all once all settings have been done.

You may have to set your computers with a Static Network IP Address. Its usually set at default to Obtain an IP address automatically.

In case you can't get networking working right you might want to try what I have done. I never trust finding my computer in Network. Usually I can't find them there. Instead I have created a workaround that works with all my computers with Windows 7, 10 and 11.

Note once I have the folder with the shortcuts done on one computer I can just copy it to the desktops on all the other computers.

I created a folder on my desktop called My Network



The folders contains shortcuts to all the computers in my network



A shortcut consists of \\ + <computername>. For example the shortcut for computer DarkMatter is \\DarkMatter.

Thanks Wolfzz, it worked like a charm - what a great forum!
