Windows 10 Drive on networked laptop not accessible

[Jim Rockford]

Using Windows 10 on both PC and laptop each with a logical D: drive. I can ping each other as they are both on the same Ethernet connection. I can also see the contents of the PC's D: drive from the laptop. However, I am unable to see the contents of the laptop's D: drive from the PC. I do see the laptop name and the drive name under Networks on the PC, but when I try to open it, I keep getting the error: "Windows cannot access \\Laptop\D". I have tweaked all settings that I possibly can, but what am I missing? TIA.

I got it working. I had left out a crucial step - I did not have "Everyone" under Security, which I thought I had added. Once I added it, I'm rocking.

Glad to see that you solved it.
