Few things to check. Does this computer have power settings that let it go to sleep or power off peripherals? Does it have a wireless nic or onboard chip that is not disabled. When the computer won't connect to other devices what does it say if you open a CMD prompt and type ipconfig. Does the network address show up properly? Can you ping other devices? Does the router show the device connected properly in the "Device List"?
I have virtual machines that do this sometimes and usually have to disable then re-enable the network interface to fix things. I've occasionally had to do this on windows 10 machines but usually only the boxes that have multiple NICs lopaka On Fri, Sep 1, 2017 at 4:49 PM, Winterlight <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a personal home workgroup comprising of my primary Windows 10 PRO > workstation, some LIVA mini computers I use with TVs and some laptops and > wireless phones.
