SYMPTOMS
For example, the Network Discovery and File Sharing dialog box may be waiting for an answer to a prompt. However, you may not notice the prompt immediately because it is minimized. Therefore, you may unnecessarily wait for the prompt because the dialog box is minimized. In some scenarios, a sharing progress bar may appear on the screen. However, the progress bar never finishes.

| • | While the computer is connected to a network, you turned off Network Discovery and File Sharing. |
| • | You tried to share a file or a folder. |
