Hello

I have set up a wireless network on my desktop pc so that I can read its
files from my laptop. I want to share files via the Public folder.

In Network & sharing centre I find I cannot turn off  ' file sharing ', all
options are greyed out. Network discovery is on and so is public folder
sharing, all else is off.

Can someone advise me pls

This could be a 3rd party security software issue. Or try this post.
