    Anyway to REFRESH the Network display in File explorer


    Thanks, guys, I was looking for that refresh, too.
    @Jimbo - the cache/table updates usually aren't immediate but I have had shares missing in action for ages and feel the refresh would probably have brought them back. The shares are showing up perfectly here now but the refresh certainly invokes a 'refresh' action on the display.

    Cheers.

    Don't you have a "Refresh" button in the address bar?

    Anyway to REFRESH the Network display in File explorer

    Until it gets resolved, try this as a workaround.

    To temporarily stop DNS caching until the next restart. You'll have to enter the command at every startup.

    Launch an elevated Command prompt and issue the following command:

    net stop dnscache
    If that helps, you might consider turning off DNS caching instead of just temporarily stopping it.

    Launch Services ... Run [ services.msc ]
    Scroll down to DNS Client
    Double click on the service
    Stop the service
    Set the Startup type to Disable
    ... set the Startup type to Automatic if you want to reverse the change
