Also tried going into "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" and, under both "Inbound Rules" and "Outbound Rules", enabled all rules starting with the name "File and Printer Sharing" to be "Allow". Many of them were already enabled, but for things like Private Networks they were disabled. So I just enabled everything that starts with "File and Printer Sharing".
