But I did as you instructed the Data Usage and Properties comes up but no evidence of Find Devices and Content
Is that because my network is set to public and I don’t seem to be able to change it.
Thanks
Brian

Hi,

Same problem here: Windows 8.1 final version, PC Settings > Network > Connections > my_network_name….. and no “Find devices and content” !

Microsoft says “This setting isn’t available for domain networks (for example, if you bring home a work laptop).”….. but this in MY laptop, in MY home network!

Hi Camira,

If you are in Windows 8.1 final builds, when you navigate to PC Settings > Network, by default you should find yourself on the “Connections” tab. If not, click/tap on “Connections” from the left panel, and all applicable connections would be displayed on the right portion of the screen. Click/Tap on the network name (for LAN connections, this may be named as “Network”, “Network 2”, and so on.)

This should bring up the “Find devices and content”. Hope it helps!

It’s also where they’ve hidden Metered connections, too. Much prefer the Vanilla Windows 8 way of changing this..
