1481897 2021-11-09 01:58:00 I have 4 systems here running Win11.
2 desktops & 2 laptops.

All are on the default workgroup.
All have the same advanced sharing settings.
One laptop cant be seen by any of the others, although it can see all the others.

1481899 2021-11-09 02:42:00 Already checked that, although "SMB Direct" is not on the list, as shown in your link. Driftwood (5551)
1481900 2021-11-09 04:22:00 Check to see if the Connection is either Private or Public Various ways, scroll down a little to check Via Settings : www.thewindowsclub.com

If its On Public other computers wont see it. Needs to be PRIVATE.

1481901 2021-11-09 06:29:00 That's what it was.
Wonder how it managed to set itself up differently to the others.

Many thanks.

1481902 2021-11-09 08:24:00 Sometimes when connecting to a LAN (usually 1st time) When the window pops out asking to share if you dont click yes or no fast enough it can set to Public if not selected. Not always, can also be some other device syncing and causing the switch OR for some other unknown reason.

Its damn annoying when things change and you cant find out why :)
