The classic issues after a fresh install

The computer doesn't show up on the network, the shared folder gives an error or the shared printer won't connect: those are the cases the Network and sharing tool solves. It analyzes first and only changes what you tick.

Items that loosen security, such as access without a password or installing printer drivers without administrator rights, are flagged. After fixing, run the analysis again to confirm.

Frequently asked questions

Does it fix things on its own?

You see the diagnosis and choose what to fix.

What if the internet drops?

In Fixes there is a network reset, which clears the DNS cache and returns Windows networking to its defaults.
