Turn On or Off File and Printer Sharing in Windows 10

Viper · 10 Oct 2017

Hi
Can I use them even when I have Swedish Win 10

You should be able to, but I would recommend to create a restore point first just to be on the safe side.

Hi
Many Many Thank's

I used Black Viper’s (PowerShell Script: “One click adjustments of service settings” that were previously done with my registry files and online Custom Services Registry Creation Tools are now adjustable using madbomb122’s script. You can find it here: https://github.com/madbomb122/BlackViperScript)

Now I want to have my Synology under nerwork in the left panel, I had that before and I have it in my other PC win 8.1

Is Network Discovery and File and Printer Sharing turned on for your Private network now?

Viper · 12 Oct 2017

Yes
And I can use Synology assistant but you can't have all the folders from Synology at the same time in windows.

It seems this is a common issue with Synology. You might try what's posted at the link below to see if it may help you as well.

Following upgrade to Windows 10, NAS unit does not show under

Check the following registry key - HKEY\CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2
Delete anything with ## in front of it. Then restart the computer.
If I ever have an issue with disconnected drives or drives with red X's against them showing up. Deleting these keys usually resolves it.

Thanks!!

Question, I ran the powershell commands to enable FaP sharing for my public and private profile but it only changed the setting for the one I was currently connected to...i.e. Private...Public was not enabled.

Hello ldabney67, and welcome to Ten Forums.

How does the first command in step 3 of Option Three work for you instead?

Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "File And Printer Sharing" -Enabled True

Same thing. It is only applying to the active profile.

Ok, I found the correct command:

Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "File And Printer Sharing" -Enabled True -Profile Any
