Win7 computer occasionally can't see folders on a shared Win10 drive
I have a P2P network with several Win 7/64 Pro computers and a new Win 10/64 Pro computer with an SSD (C:) and a 1tb data drive (D:). That C: drive is shared (no comment please) as well as the D: drive and even a couple folders on the D: drive. All shares have full rights for all users.
Quite a bit of the time, when browsing the network from ONE of the Win 7 computers, the Win 10 D: drive appears as a shared resource, but opening it only shows System Volume Information and two other folders as empty. The actual shared folders on the D: drive don't appear under it, but they do appear as separate folders when addressed. The C: drive fully shows all the files/folders on it. Both are set up identically as far as I can tell. The drive works great locally and when viewed from all the other computers on the network.
BUT sometimes, even without a restart, that D: drive will reveal everything in it!!! I can't find a pattern as to why sometimes it works and others it fails. What could be the cause of ONE Win7 computer not seeing folders in that shared D: drive?
