I have Windows 8 home edition and I have the administrator rights. I tried to turn on Network Discovery and File &amp;&nbsp;Printer Sharing by ticking both bullets and clicking &quot;Save Change&quot;. But when I went right back to the same screen again, both reverted back to &quot;Turn off ....&quot;. Meaning it is just not allowing me to change the setting to turn the features on. What is wrong? Did I miss anything?

NOT able to turn on Network Discovery / File Printer Sharing on windows 8

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
