    Can't see computers on Windows 10 network


    I have 3 (PC1, PC2 & PC3) desktop computers all running Windows 10 Pro version 1909. Each are directly connected to a Linksys Hub which then connects to the router.

    On PC1, when I click on Network I see under Computers PC2 and under Media Drives I see PC1, PC2 & PC3
    On PC2, when I click on Network I see under Computers PC2 and under Media Drives I see PC1, PC2 & PC3
    On PC3, when I click on Network I see under Computers PC1, PC2 & PC3 and under Media Drives I see PC1, PC2 & PC3

    All computers can access the internet as well as printers plugged into the router via another Linksys Hub.

    There is a folder on PC2 which has an N: drive mapped on each PC and all can access the folder.
    There is also a folder on PC3 which has an M: drive mapped on each PC and all can access the folder.

    Any reason as to why PC1 & PC3 won't show in the Computer section of the Network in File Manager?

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    I'll be adding a small page on doing this in windows vista soon, since XP is the same with a step or two less, i assume people will figure it out.

    Can't see computers on Windows 10 network

    Unable to browse network computers.

    We suggest creating a new administrator user account by following the steps
    here
    . Make sure to use the same network settings that you used for your other computers, then check if you can connect to the home network. Since you also mentioned that Windows 10 was freshly installed on this particular computer, have you already downloaded
    the latest updates? The latest build for Version 1607 is 14393.1715, and 15063.608 for Version 1703. You can check the build version of your computer by following these steps:

    • Click Start.
    • Type winver and press Enter.

    If you don't have the latest updates, you can follow these steps to install them:

    • Click Start.
    • Go to Settings.
    • Click Update & security.
    • Click Check for updates.

    If that doesn't work, we'd like screenshots of the network and file sharing settings of the computer that doesn't work, and the settings of one of your other computers that can connect and share files properly on the home network.
