First, make sure the sharing feature is enabled by clicking Enable or disable sharing, as this feature helps you connect devices or PCs to a network. You can join a home group to enable this feature and use it to share photos, music, videos, documents and printers with other users in the home group.
Check if the wireless function of your computer is disabled under Windows.
Make sure Bluetooth is enabled . Often we forget to turn on Bluetooth and desperately beat the PC on the table. To check if Bluetooth is enabled – Open the PC settings by pointing the mouse pointer to the upper right corner of the screen and clicking Search. Then follow the same procedure as for’Advanced Printer Setup’, i.e. enter Bluetooth in the search field, click Settings and then click’Enable or Disable Wireless Communication’. Immediately afterwards, under Wireless devices, click the Bluetooth control to activate it.
Before attempting to connect to a network device such as a printer or other PC, make sure these devices are turned on. This is one of the most common mistakes we all make sometimes. Make sure the network devices are turned on.
If the device connected to the network is a printer, use ‘Advanced Printer Setup’. Enter the keyword’Advanced Printer setup’ in the’Search charms-bar’ search field. Then select’Settings’ instead of Apps and in the left corner the’Advanced Printer Configuration’ option. Then select a printer to list, or simply enter the printer name or select one of the other options. Click Next and follow the instructions.
If all goes well. However, if the problem persists, try Network and Internet Troubleshooter. It can solve some common problems. Otherwise, open Troubleshooter for your home group. Enter Troubleshooting in the search box, click Settings and choose Troubleshooting. Click Network and Internet, and then tap Home Group. You may be asked for the administrator password or to confirm your choice.
You can also try built-in hardware and device troubleshooting and see if this helps.
Let’s hope something helps.
