One thought on “Windows 10 Build 17763.168 is out with KB4469342”

  1. I lost sharing on my network after this update. Had gone trought all the necessary steps to share disk and folder on my home network; Advanced sharing….., adding everybody to users in security, starting services: Function discoovery….etc

    I really don’t know if this update is the reason for me losing sharing. Uninstalled the update, but sharing did not come back

    I am really frustrated why Microsoft did make it so difficult to share folders and disks with the 1803 and 1809 update

    Tried everything to get it back (seached the internet), but still unsucessfull
