I just installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 pro on a new PC. I have set up the system for private networking and I have printer and file sharing turned on. I don't see sharing in the right-click in the file explorer. Windows ver is 22H2. Windows is activated.
Any ideas?

Found the problem. The selection has been changed to "Give access to". So there was no problem. Very embarrassed.
No need to be embarrassed!
What's really embarrassing is the constant changes of wording and locations as if it were a deliberate attempt to confuse the user.
Have you ever noticed that any visual (screenshots) help/guides of Windows have become useless as they are always different than the current after the last update! Drives me nuts.
Yes its very annoying the way the layouts are always changing in Windows after an update
What is also annoying is that many of the tutorials on here (Windows 10) show tutorials for Windows 7 or 8. The screens look entirly different and they often refer to the Workgroup Workgroup which no longer exists!
So one of the mods needs to remove those old tutorials from Ten forums
Workgroups still exist.
You'll see yours in, amongst other places, Control panel, System.
Perhaps you were thinking of HomeGroups?
I have not noticed any TenForumsTutorials "for Windows 7 or 8".
The sharing tab is shown in right-click, Properties.
One user told me that using that Give access to option instead had resulted in network problems.

One side-effect of the current Windows 10 Version 22H2 lasting us through to 2025 is that we can expect the user interface to remain constant from now on.
All the best,
