Windows 10: After 1155 build upgrade/system reset..... missing network protocols

I was unable to access other computers on my private network. Internet worked okay. Spent about 3 days at looking for problem in 1155 upgrade. Same problems on all 3 of my network PCs, all upgraded to 1155. Finally decided it was possible the problem wasn't with the upgrade, even though the problem started after upgrades. Finally, I disabled my Kaspersky Internet Sequrity 2016 and problem went away. I also set my network to private in Kaspersky firewall settings. After I got a PC working, I activated Kaspersky again and no further problems. Makes me wonder if I had started my PCs in safe mode with internet connections if that would have worked to help identify the problem as other than Windows 10.

 

I found that installing Bitdefender crippled my internet connection, so I think there might be a general antivirus issue with the new upgrade. I have sent an email to Bitdefender, but have received no response back yet.

I also abandoned the homegroup option and went back to password sharing in my home network and am now able to see and communicate with the other PCs in my home network.... Nothing I have tried has been able to rectify the homegroup debacle of 1155

 

Well I guess I had deleted previous build, so that was a no go.

Instead on recommendation, I reinstalled my drivers,software for my MSI gs70 stealth laptop. I also noticed a firmware upgrade for the keyboard as well on their site. Even though all the drivers are for Win8.1 x64 , as they haven't made any updates yet for Windows 10, it works perfectly as before.

Just is so strange how everything worked fine in previous build, and had to go through all this for the Threshold 2 build.

But I am happy all is working again. Funny when my wifi wasn't working I had no issues with using playing videos from my other computers on the Network. Well I guess Wifi was connected so it said, but I couldn't access any internet.

 

In-place upgrade fixes this problem. Uninstall AV/security software, pop disc in, and install overtop current install.

 

What in-place upgrade? I see no more Win 10 updates...only WIn Defender updates....

 

An in-place upgrade is placing your windows 10 disc or flash drive in a PC that is already running Windows 10 and launching the installer from within Windows. It will overwrite your current install with a fresh one. It gives you the option to keep apps/data during the process.

If tou don't have a disc or flash drive of Windows 10, then you cannot do this of course.

 

Maybe this will help someone. It seems networking issues with the latest update are wide spread.

One of my tablets is displaying similar symptoms. All is good on a wired LAN when docked, but when wireless, can only see some, not all, network shares. Am not using homegroup. Have tried disabling the setting suggested and restarted but no joy yet.

Will keep at it and check wired settings next then compare.

Update: Wired connection has same settings in WINS tab showing enable lmhosts lookup checked and NetBIOS setting as default. MYSTERY!

Same here. I updated a couple home computers yesterday and now my home network is hosed up.

I can see the entire network from one of the computer that was not updated, but from the updated computers I have no network. I can access the internet from all computers.

So to confirm the issue was related to the Windows update, I updated the last computer this morning - and sure enough, I can't access the other computers. I verified the Workgroup was the same for all computers (I don't use Homegroup). When I ran the network diagnostic tool it came back with a message that some component was not installed so I let it "fix it", but I still don't have access to the other computers. I'll dig into it deeper when I get home from work today. -- Maybe someone will have a fix posted by then.

 

Also tried disabling wifi adapters and restarting to no avail. Have the usual situation where other computers can see the machine that cannot see them......! Have not notice this problem on any of the other ten or so on network but most have cabled connection...

...and another tablet/laptop I am using with wifi with EXACTLY the same settings in Advanced TCP/IP Settings shows all available shares!!!! Perhaps there is a setting somewhere else?!
