Can't access other computer's files

KingAtem · May 10, 2019

Okay i have two computers that I've been transfer from one computer to the other, a windows 8.1 and windows 10. While i can access the networking file sharing just fine with my windows 10 computer, trying to do it with my windows 8.1 computer seems to be impossible.

At first it just wouldn't even see my other computer (I've fixed that) but when i try to go through the folders via networking sharing, i can only access public folders and default folders which is useless because i never put anything in those folders. I've also tried allowing specific folders to be shared. It does show up in the networking folders. but alas i still cannot access them.

I don't know if it's something with my settings (which i have tried every combination of possible) or if it's with windows itself. I know 8.1 is having enough problems as it is and I have posted thread on this in the past. I fear that windows has broken something that i cannot fix or an even worse case is my tinkering has broke something that i don't remember doing.
