CANNOT COPY & PASTE FROM PRIMARY WINDOWS 11 COMPUTER TO SECONDARY WINDOWS 10 COMPUTER

Works if I Shut Off Primary Firewall - Tried Your Instructions incl Installing MPPortFix on Both Computers Multiple Times

from Stardock Forums

I suddenly cannot copy and paste from Primary to Secondary Computer.

Primary Computer has Windows 11, Secondary Computer has Windows 10.

I can copy and paste from Secondary to Primary, but not Primary to Secondary.  However, when I turn off Windows Firewall on Primary, I can then copy and paste from Primary to Secondary.  As soon as I turn the firewall back on, I can no longer copy from Primary to Secondary.

I tried to follow your previous instructions.  No luck.  I have installed your MPPortFix multiple times on both computers, but with no luck.  I tweaked the Firewall settings as you instructed.  No luck.  I give up.

Can you please tell me how to fix this problem??????  HELP!  It's driving me crazy!!!

Thank you very much!

I already explained it.  I did everything you suggested in your guide, above, and I still have the problem!  I've run the bat file numerous times, on both computers.  It did not work.  Please read my post, above.  Can you help me solve this problem quickly????????  Obviously, I am not the first one to have this problem.  So, by now, you must have a quick fix, no?

Did this happen after the latest windows 10 / 11 updates that dropped a couple of days ago? It could be a new bug particularly with Windows 11 updates. You could try rolling back the update and see if that fixes it. And if it does report the bug for windows compatibility.

Check your Windows 11 network settings to ensure your network is set to private / work not public.

For security reasons the firewall rules are not enabled when you are on a public network and so copies from the primary to secondary will not work.

PROBLEM SOLVED!  You were right.  Network settings were enabled for a public network on my primary, Windows 11 computer.  As soon as I changed the setting to private, I was able to copy and paste to my secondary, Windows 10 computer!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

All is well again!!
