In the Start Search field type ncpa.cpl and press the Enter key on your keyboard.
In the new window, right-click on your Wireless Network Connection and select Properties.
In the This connection uses the following items section, remove the tick beside (i.e. disable) Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and then press OK.

Step 2 - Ensure Network Discovery is disabled:

Select Start
In the Start Search field type network and then select Network and Sharing Center
In the new window, under the Sharing and Discovery section, ensure that Network Discovery is turned OFF.
If it is not, press the down arrow and then select Turn off network discovery.
