unable to find time capsule on windows

Hello, I have a HP laptop running Windows 11 Pro 22H2, and I wanted to use my time capsule on my laptop. However, when I run airport utility, it says it can't find any airport, yet I am on the same network and right next to it. I don't have any firewall active. Yet I am able to access it through airport utility by inputting the IP address and the password, and that lets me see the settings, but not modify them. I have reinstalled Airport Utility many times. But when I try to find the time capsule on my mac, it shows up in Finder under the 'shared' tab and in Airport utility, on the same network, and at the same distance.


I'd greatly appreciate any help, thanks.

Windows, Windows 10

The Time Capsule requires SMBv1 type communications, and Microsoft dropped SMBv1 support with the intro of Windows 10 for security issues, so that might have something to do with the problem here.


Not recommended, but you might be able to temporarily enable SMB1 on Windows by Googling for suggested articles, like the example just below:
