Windows 10: Like other Posts, Both of my Windows 10 Pro devices can only see a few other devices on my...

I run a fairly extensive network in my home and home/office, with multiple networks both wired and wireless 192.168..., 10.0... and one purely guest wireless 172.... My devices range from Numerous NAS devices Synology, Cloud, Physical Macs, Physical and Virtual PCs running Windows servers 2003 and 2008, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8, Linux virtual machines Red Hat and Centos 7 as well and two Windows 10 Pro devices. In ALL machines, when looking at the networks, I can see ALL other devices on my network except for the two Windows 10 Pro devices explained next.


My first Windows 10 Pro device is a HP Envy with Windows 10 Pro that is several years old. When I set this computer up, it was seeing ALL of my network devices normally shown when requested. But, for these several years, it has reverted somehow to allow me only to see a handful of these devices. It was like an on and off switch. I would install up OS updates and see all devices, then after a while only that handful of devices. I have tried everything to get this computer to be static about seeing ALL devices, but it eludes me as to why it doesn't. I have followed so many comments and advice services, discovery, etc, but nothing seems to work.


Yesterday. I purchased another Windows 10 Pro ISO and created my second Windows 10 Pro device as a new VMware Client. To my surprise, right out of the box, it is NOT seeing all of the network devices. It see only the same handful of devices as the older HP device does.


So both of these see only the same handful of network devices. Again, I have tried all kinds of advice to solve this issue that would help these two devices see ALL network devices, but it continues to fail.


I really need to solve this mystery.

Lenovo Ready to Launch Windows 10 Devices

Lenovo today announced it will begin shipping a wide selection of products loaded with Windows 10 starting July 29. Lenovo has an extensive list of products eligible for this upgrade including popular models like the YOGA 3 Pro and YOGA 500. Lenovo customers can check here for their product's eligibility.

Lenovo has worked with Microsoft Corp. to make the process of upgrading simple, for people with qualified Lenovo PC running Windows 7 SP1 or 8.1 to upgrade to Windows 10. Starting on July 29, the updates will roll out. If a user has reserved a copy of Windows 10, he/she will be notified once the compatibility process confirms that the user will have a great experience, and Windows 10 has been downloaded on their system.





Lenovo Apps Enhance Windows 10 Experience
To give users consistent experiences across devices and operating systems, the preloads include a suite of Lenovo-written applications. The new Lenovo Companion 3.0 optimization tool keeps devices running at peak performance and can be used at any time to run a full-scale checkup and report back with specific actions to free up space and speed up the device. As a "smart" device control hub, the new Lenovo Settings lets users easily adapt and modify the way their device behaves. For example, when in tablet mode, the product will customize its display and other settings based on its orientation versus in traditional laptop mode. Alternatively, the device's usage will also alter its settings, for example when watching a movie versus reading an e-book. With SHAREit, customers can quickly transfer files between devices. For tablet users WRITEit takes the pen to a new level of functionality allowing users to write in any input field with their pen and the handwriting is converted to text.

As announced at Tech World in May, Lenovo and Microsoft have worked to integrate Cortana and REACHit, Lenovo's groundbreaking app that allows users who opt-in to search for and manage their content across multiple devices and cloud storage platforms. With REACHit, Cortana becomes even smarter and more personal, enabling users to find their content such as emails, photos and videos in ways they never thought possible. Cortana and REACHit gives users a seamless, intuitive way to search through natural language and contextual understanding.

"With Windows 10, computing gets more personal, productive and connected," said Tom Shell, senior vice president, PC Business Group, Lenovo. "Across our entire PC product line, from the office to the home, we've optimized our Lenovo devices to give customers a great computing experience while giving them enhanced search tools like Cortana with REACHit."

 

windows 10 VERY slow when trying to open Devices & Printers?

Although I appreciate your offer for suggestions as you can see by the post dates, this thread is a bit long in the tooth. The issue was resolved with one of the updated builds of windows 10. Although in my opinion it's still not as fast as Windows 7, it's nowhere near as slow as it was in summer 2016 when I posted this issue.
