Cannot copy files across network

I can copy large files from the Win 7 machine to the Win 10 machine. I cannot copy large files from the Win 10 machine to the Win 7 machine. I can copy individual small files at will from the Win 10 machine to the Win 7 machine.

If I try to copy a folder with a lot of small files, it will fail. If I try to copy a large file, it might start some of the copy or it will fail just after calculating.

I have disabled all firewalls. I have tried traditional folder shares with guest, everyone, explicit users with passwords, home group shares, disabling the auto negotiation, disabling windows search on the Win7 box.

It's not a physical network problem. In fact, I transfered a GB backup file from the machine to a network share just before installing Win Win10 machine fully updated including patch from this past week that supposedly resolved the folder renaming bug. I lose all connectivity to the Win 7 box when I execute the commands above. The win7 box shows up in WE but I cannot browse at all. I can only ping the IP. Thanks for your feedback.

Microsoft made changes to networking and removed Homegroup from Windows and that caused some problems. To get you PC's to visible under File Explorer network section then most important part is to start some required services. When I go to my network on one PC I cannot see files and folders on the other PCs where drives are being shared to the network.
