    Minecraft scanning for games on local network not working

    The only game I have had trouble with is Minecraft (Mojang version not Win 10)scanning for games on local network not working.
    My desktop is an ethernet connection to an actiontec MI424-WR Rev I
    All other laptops on wireless connection can see each other. I even tried one of the laptops on Ethernet using my ethernet cable and it still works.
    I can direct connect i.e 192.168.1.6:50736 for example.

    Here's what I have tried.
    - all computers are using the same version of Minecraft 1.11
    - checked firewall entries. Turned off firewall.
    - Tried port forwarding. Except this doesn't make sense because all the other laptops are connected to same router and they work without the forced port forwarding.
    - Took an empty disk drive and did a clean install of Windows 10 pro and then tried Minecraft. Scanning for games on local network does NOT WORK.
    - I have uninstalled malwarebytes and admuncher and turned off Windows defender.

    Where do I go from here? All my steam games work. Maybe minecraft just doesnt work for some computers?

    Homegroup For Minecraft Servers Or What?

    It looks as if the existing minecraft server will use the new system without modification - It needs to be able to access the computers on the network in a two way link, which is the standard for Workgroup and Homegroup

    There is a complete step by step available, if you have any issues ...

    Tutorials/Setting up a server – Official Minecraft Wiki

    It's not something I have any direct experience with but a quick read suggests to me that you will not need to do Much if any reconfiguration of the existing server
