  1. Local PC disappears from Network list in Explorer, but still accessible? Why?


    I have two PCs on my network, and I have my old PC set up to share several folders. Normally, in Explorer under the Network tab, I see both PCs listed (OFFICE-NEW, OFFICE-OLD), but for the last few days, the OFFICE-OLD PC just disappears from the Network list. I can still access it if I type the location in the address bar (\\OFFICE-OLD) so it's not losing connection, it's just disappearing inside of explorer for some stupid reason. I've tried messing with services and searched all over but can't find an answer to this specific issue. This started happening before the 1909 update as I only just updated to it today in an effort to resolve this issue. Anyone experience this before?

  2. Windows 10 Explorer can't access local network

    Hi Melvin,

    We would like to get more information to properly sort out the problem that you've encountered. Help us verify the following:

    • Is this the only computer that is unable to access your local network?
    • Did you get any error messages when trying to access the local network?
    • Have you enabled homegroup?

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Regards.

    One computer cannot access other network computers.


    So I've tried every troubleshooting step I know:
    • Double checked that Net Bios was enabled
    • Ran a bunch of network commands:
      • flushed DNS
      • registered dns
      • pinged and located the named computers successfully
    • Reset my router to factory settings

    Nothing works when I try to access via explorer. I'm still baffled by the fact that every other computer can access each other AND access this computer. It's just the outgoing connection from this machine that doesn't work.

    Any thoughts?

    Local PC disappears from Network list in Explorer, but still accessible? Why?

    My PC is not listed in Network


    Hi Eagle51 & thanks for quick response

    I am very grateful for your help

    1 was not enabled. I enabled it and restarted the HT-PC, but now the HT-PC is not visible in Network list on any computer.

    ...then i run 2 and both was true.

    Next step?
