Unable to find Pi 3 for windows file explorer

Then I made sure I was set to public network and still nothing :/

You would want Private network, not Public. Public would hide all the devices from each other. Private is a trusted network and thus all the devices become visible to each other.

@Thorr69 sorry I meant private

I type \\RETROPIE

I guess you would have tried this

Oops. Did I do one backslash? I meant two. Sorry for the typo.

@IceChes1 Lets narrow down this issue. What is the IP address of your computer and your Pi?
You can find it by opening a command prompt on the computer and type in ipconfig hit enter.
On the Pi exit emulationstation and its listed right up top.

@Parabolaralus Pi 192.168.0.123
PC 192.168.0.31

@MDtar7 Have you checked if your PC can reach Pi's IP ?
From windows command prompt, use ping command:
PING 192.168.0.123

[MDtar7]

@UDb23 yes I did ping the Pi’s IP and it worked

If none of the above works, restart your PC, disconnect from the internet and use a wired connection.

@MDtar7 Im running out of ideas, but try enabling SMB 1.0 support on your PC.
Its in Control Panel, Programs and Features, Turn Windows Feature On or Off and select SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support. Restart your computer and try it again.
