PC only shares public folders, I can not make it share others

I had a similar issue. Put all my pictures​ in PUBLIC folder. Now everyone has access to them.
Also, I back them up to a NAS by way of a free sync tool to mapped drive.

I thought about that. Would it involve a long time to move into the public folder a ton of pictures?

In theory, no. Files do not actually physically move, since they are on the same drive. Table is updated to indicate new location.

I switched back the settings in control panel for advanced sharing, but still trying to view any shares now results in zero folder items displayed.

On the PC with the problem check that it sees the network as Private and that network discovery and file and printer sharing are on

network discovery -file-print sharing is on.
Where is the see the network as private?

I ran these 2 commands and am doing a reboot of the PC.
