    Full Network Does Not Show in File Explorer


    When I open File Explorer and click on the Network icon in the left margin, I see multiple devices but I do not see all of my PCs. I have 3 PCs (all running Win 10 home version) and on one of the PCs the only PC that shows is the PC that I am running File Explorer. On another PC none of the PCs show under "computer".

    Even though they do not show up properly under the network,if I put the path into File Explorer the proper devices and folders are able to be seen.

    Please advise how I can get the computers to be seen in the network.

    :)

  2. Network Devices not Showing with File Explorer


    I am hoping that somewhere out there may be able to assist with my problem as I have exhausted countless hours on the various Forums and in tweaking my system with no result to date.
    The problem is that on my Home Network (Private) my main PC cannot “see” the other devices on the network. I have two laptops, printer and Samba drive (on my D-Link Router) and the only item that shows up is my own PC.
    The other PC running Win 10 pro can see ALL devices on the network.
    I can reach the other devices by entering L: \\computername and then access the various drives and documents on the device but my PC will not display them using File Explorer.
    Also, I have HomeGroup setup and working OK on both PC’s.
    My PC is running Win 10 Home Version 1511 Build 10586.36 64bit along with the MS Office Suite 2013.
    The solutions tried without success so far include:
    Netsh winsock reset
    Netsh int ip reset
    Ipconfig/release
    Ipconfig/renew
    Ipconfig/flushdns
    Uninstalled Client for Microsoft Networks then reinstalled
    Uninstalled the Adaptor drivers the reinstalled
    Checked the registry settings to ensure that the Network Category is correctly set to 1 (Private)
    Checked and confirmed that all the required Services are running – these include:

    • DHCP Client
    • Diagnostic Policy Service
    • Diagnostic Service Host
    • Diagnostic System Host
    • DNS Client
    • Peer Networking
    • Server
    plus a few others that I can’t recall.
    Deleted all programs from Programs and Features that are not recognized or not required.
    Network discovery and file sharing are both turned on.
    When I run the Network trouble shooter it sometimes throws an error message “one or more protocols are missing from this computer” then attempts a fix which usually always fails. The detailed error log refers to win sockets but I have reset them many times with no difference. However, straight after a reboot the automatic fix will work and at results seeing my own PC through File Explorer>Network.
    On my other PC (wife’s) when I select - File Explorer>Network I get exactly what is expected, viz:
    IBMLaptop (hers)
    LenovoZ50 (Mine)
    SAMBA1 (attached to my DLink Router)
    Epson61477C (Printer)

    The TCP/IPv4 setting on both PC’s are exactly the same.
    Also, I have another problem that I suspect is related in the “Network ID” button is greyed out and cannot be selected albeit I have confirmed that my network is set to “Private.
    I suspect that some other program is making changes to the network setting because very occasionally the File Explorer>Network will display all devices but later reverts to showing either no devices or only the LenovoZ50.
    Does anyone out there have any suggestions because I am completely flummoxed.

    ethernet computer does not show wifi computer in file explorer network list

    My desktop computer is connected to my router with ethernet & does not show my WiFi connected laptop computer in the file explorer network list in the left pane. The desktop computer does list itself in the network list. The laptop shows both computers
    in its network list. This worked a couple weeks ago before a windows 10 update was done on both computers. I've tried just about everything with no luck. What could be the problem?
