Hi@KimSahin,
Welcome to the HP Support Community! I'd like to help!
I see you are experiencing File Explorer issues with the HP 2000-2d27CL Notebook PC.
Follow the instructions below to identify and remove any unknown devices connected to your network using Home Network Security.
- Open the Home Network Security app.
- Tap the Menu icon.
- Tap Devices, select the unknown device.
- Deselect “Allow Home Network Access”
If you're wondering how you'd even know if an 'unknown' device is connecting to your Wi-Fi, the answer lies in your internet router or whichever device provides you with Wi-Fi. In most cases that is your broadband router, but it could also be a mesh Wi-Fi system, a Wi-Fi extender or booster.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
Please click “Accept as Solution” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.

Have a great day!
