Windows 10: 1803 networking finally at peace

Two Thinkpads, a two year old custom-built tower from PC Specialist, and a 10 year old Medion tower. All these machines had arrived at 1803 via different upgrade routes but before 1803 arrived were perfectly happy chatting to each other, never an issue. Then came 1803, with all the problems that are being aired here. I spent days testing all the recommendations in these threads but the problems remained. Then, for one system that was an Insider, it was suggested I try an in-place upgrade to 1803.17134.191. OK, it did take hours on each machine but it was 100% successful. My network is once again fully functional and I'm a very happy bunny!

The machines had, for a time anyway, been in a Homegroup, though I had gone back to a Workgroup setup some time before 1803 arrived. Nevertheless I am totally convinced that my problems were caused by remnants of Homegroup that 1803 had failed to deal with.

Did our Epson printer get hacked?

Another question, is this on a home network or a work network? The steps @eidairaman1 listed are always a good first step. If this is on a work network you manage, I'd be much more concerned than the home one. It is possible someone is screwing with you, but malware could also be the culprit.
