Windows 10: desktop lost its network mind

File Explorer on my desktop cannot see any network computers.
FE can see other devices - media
My NAS is a computer and a media device so it sees the media but not the NAS.
Other computers see everything including the desktop - and can open them.
I toggled Network Discovery - no help, but now FE is showing only media devices and printers with no headings.

If I type in the \\NAS.......it will open the NAS or computer.

It has been working, what changed?

:)
