Windows 10: Computer name not showing, reverts to "This PC"

I'm using Window 11 Pro Version 23H2 Build 22631.3007, and I customized the computer name. When I check the Properties, under System >About, the custom computer name shows correctly, but the desktop icon says "This PC". Anyone know why it's doing that? How can I get it to show the computer name under the desktop icon? It was working yesterday, I think. Thanks!

Strange names showing in Network Profiles on AVG Firewall

Some strange network names have been showing in my AVG Network Profiles list, that are not listed on the "known network" list on my windows 10 PC:

DIRECT-MHDESKTOP-DVFUTVPmsGH

DIRECT-XgDESKTOP-DVFUTVPmsQJ

DIRECT-LDDESKTOP-DVFUTVPCRTH

(my PC name is DVFUTVP)

Some posts online seem to suggest they are something to do with "Direct Desktop Connection" although I have never used this to connect to anything, only to wifi networks (all others on the list recognised) or bluetooth devices

Does anybody know why these could be showing up / what they are?
