FYI/FWIW, after some 140 responses, I tried to set up a share from my wife's Windows 10 laptop to my Windows 11 laptop, both Home edition and both on Wi-Fi. There was no problem whatsoever. On the Windows 10 system, I just clicked on the Windows 11 system's name in the Network tree of File Explorer, was asked for the account name and password of/on the Windows 11 system and that was it. Of course entering \\ in the path box of File Explorer gave the same result, so even with Network Discovery problems, \\ just works. Note that I normally share the other way around, from my Windows 11 laptop to her Windows 10 laptop. So the share I made did not exist before and there never was a similar share before. This does not really help you, but - at least IMO - is proof that there is something rather uncommon wrong with the setup of your wife's Windows 11 laptop. (Or is it a Pro-specific issue?)
