I need to add exclusions for local machines on my private network in order to share files between them. Otherwise the setting under Remote Access Protection for File & Printer sharing will block ALL File & Printer sharing. This was not necessary in v22. I’m fine with a more comprehensive and strict environment, but at least make it work as designed.
My Private Network settings ARE set to their default, I have not touched them.
Automatic Network Control IS set to Smart Mode with Notifications.
I’m not willing yet to restore default settings because I manually manage ALL program access and spent a considerable amount of time setting that up
