Network Discovery is Turned Off, But still visible from other computer
I'm connected to the Wifi here in our office so my laptop is visible on the network of the other computers and I wanted to be hidden that is why I turned-off all the stuffs in the advanced sharing settings like the Network Discovery, file sharing and etc. but they can still see me.
I have already tried typing Network config server /hidden:yes and ipconfig/flushdns on CMD and it didnt work for me.
I'm sorry for my bad english so I hope you guys understand it. Thank you!

What kind of visibility do you mean? Listed in the network discovery window? Reachable via TCP/IP? etc.

I found two services you could try to disable. Press “WIN+R” and type services.msc in RUN window. Disable “Function Discovery Resource Publication” and “Server” service. They are about network discovery.

@Mawg My company is too small so we don't have IT department and I'm the only IT here. I'm only a college student trainee in here and I've already said to them the things that Im going to do and yes I was permitted.

Ok, so long as you asked your boss first - don't ever take the risk of being fired for something that seems trivial to you :-) @daidai If you post a answer then Mhtyr can accept it and that will help others in future.
