I had a home network set up between my PC and a laptop. This worked well until, I assume, a Windows update broke it. I can see the laptop on my network from the PC and vice versa. I can drill down to some folders but whenever I try to view files in any of these folders I get a permission error.

I have all the relevant shares and permissions set up but there seems to be no way that this is going to allow me access the folders. Is there any way I can "delete" the network and start again or any other way round it. I have tried all the common solutions I can find on the Internet and none of them work.

Oh dear, I know what you mean. Win 10 has made it tougher, and I, too, have fought the software.

I'm not sure i'd start again as it will change so many other things.

I would view the security access log (on the machine that wont allow the file access) to see why you are prohibited from accessing those files...

It's not always a security issue, corrupt directory pointers happen, etc.
(you didn't mention how old the computers are...LOL)
