Windows 10: Lost Network Visibility [v1803]

Hi there! Sorry if my english is broke, I am just trying hard to explain on all of my powers.*cry

I am having a heck of a problem on my office right now, the office consists of 8 Windows 10 PC's (v1709), 1 Windows 7 PC and the one that caused a problem 1 Windows 10 (1803)

The problem is, all of the other computers can see each other on the Network (HomeGroup), but not on the 1 W10 1709 and the W10 1803. Other just work like they are as before. This happened after that 1 W10 updates to 1803, and now it can't access the 1 W10 1709. And as per as 1803 HomeGroup is removed, I would like to get a a clear solution maybe to this problem, to include the network consists of FAX and Printers shared on all PC's.

If anyone can give a idea or solution, I will appreciate it so much. Thanks you and sorry again for my English.

:)
