    Laptop does not show computers on home network


    Laptop does not show computers on home network. Finely broke down upgraded from W-7 pro to W-10 pro version 1909. Have two desk tops using Ethernet cables and two lap tops using WiFi using a router all on home network. All work great for a number years using W-7. One of the desk tops has a network printer. All were upgraded to W-10 pro. All but one laptop seems to be working. The network printer on the laptop works just fine. I can see all shared folder in the laptop, but no computer show on the laptop looking at networks from explorer.

    :)

    Laptop does not show computers on home network

    ethernet computer does not show wifi computer in file explorer network list

    My desktop computer is connected to my router with ethernet & does not show my WiFi connected laptop computer in the file explorer network list in the left pane. The desktop computer does list itself in the network list. The laptop shows both computers
    in its network list. This worked a couple weeks ago before a windows 10 update was done on both computers. I've tried just about everything with no luck. What could be the problem?
