I can’t seem to turn on my File and Printer Sharing and Network Discovery options from the Network and Sharing Center. I go to the sharing options, and click turn on to both of them. Then after I confirm by pressing save, if I come back they’ve returned to their previous turned off position.
I tried a few things and have searched online for the last hour or so, but I’m willing to follow directions if someone is more used to this problem than I am. I also searched these forums but sadly the word “on” is one of the main points of this and words shorter than 3 letters are rejected from the search engine, so the results weren’t really related.
Please help me, mighty internet, you are my only hope!
