Recently I have noticed unfamiliar devices in the network section of the file explorer on my computer. Is there any danger in uploading the debug log to this forum as I did? Could the information in the debug log help malicious users gain access to my computer or my network? The unfamiliar devices was something recognized as a phone, another recognized as a display, and also one without name in the "Other devices"-category.
Those are smart devices that "
tried" to connect to your Local Network (
WiFi) such as SmartTV, SmartPhones, etc.
Event though they failed because of wrong password attempt, those will still temporarily show up in your Windows File Explorer's Network.
If those are persistent, then there's most likely rogue devices connected to your Local Area Network, and check your router's settings.
I'd recommend disabling WPS if you're not using it.
For the logs, there's no sensitive info included there (
aside from your windows account name if it's your real name).
Users who need support share it most of the time without issues;
in fact, it's recommended to include it to your post for faster support:
