Hi Garvit_Khandelwal,

 

Please make sure the network discovery option is enabled on both computers. It might be a configuration issue with the firewall’s permission, also check the below services are allowed for private and public network.

  • File and Printing Service
  • File and Printing Service over SMBDirect

      Hi Garvit_Khandelwal 

      You can find the File and Printing Service configuration in the Windows firewall.

      • Search and launch windows firewall from the Start menu's search box, and select the Allow an app through Windows Firewall.
      • From Windows Defender Firewall, identify File and Printing Service, File and Printing Service over SMBDirect, Allow for Private and Public network as exhibited in below screenshots.
