Windows 10: In Explorer Netwrok Expand has dissapeared along with my NAS music server

Since a recent Windows update my explorer no longer expands to include anything. I cannot see my NAS anywhere on my home network meaning I cannot access or drag music files to it. Can you help?

NAS server for backup and music/videos

Looking for a nas server something like the wd cloud 3-4 tb mabye the my could mirror for music videos and backup of pictures,setting of my games and wmp play list (have alot of them) when i read about the old wd my book live i see it's only 10mbps and even if they say in the review it's fast i can't imagine i could use it for playing videos,film on my pc,phone or tv, because i think there would be a delay from when i press play and a video starts playing, also max speed is 10mbps, is that enought for hd/full hd videos and losless music?

Western Digital My Book Live

I would use it for backup and to play videos,music and watch pictures any where on any smartphone,tv,pc i own

 

NAS server not visible


We have a NAS server on the network. One of our laptops recently got destroyed by water damage and had to be replaced. The new laptop is Win 10, and the NAS server is not visible on the network. On the old, now water-damaged laptop (Win 7), the NAS server had a desktop shortcut, so even if it wasn't visible on the network, the files could still be accessed.

How can I either force the computer to recognize the NAS server, or create a desktop icon that is linked to it without it being visible in the network listing?

Thanks.

 

How do I expand the 'Recent' list in the File Explorer?


Thanks for an alternative suggestion.





I don't know what happened... but the list got longer for some reason. I didn't do anything special... but it just got longer
