I opened my Windows10 File Explorer and looking in the Network section listed with the computers I see "DESKTOP-OCRL17I". I don't have a computer with that name and when I tried to open it Windows told that it was unable to access. I was given the option to 'diagnose' and did but the only info received was an error code: 0x80070035, network path not found.

 

I don't remember having seen this listed before but sometimes I'm just not that observant. Could any tell  me if this something normal or do I have a problem?

 Thanks for the reply and yes it is time to change my router password. However, I did find and verify that I had a computer with that name. It was an old laptop that I recently upgraded and reinstalled win10 which then gave itself the mystery name. I changed the name.  Thanks again.
