Windows 10: Not seeing other computers in network

After january updates I haven't been able to see other computers in same network via file explorer, all computers are in same network since I can map as a drive shared folder (just takes bit longer than simply browsing with file explorer) and february update didn't fix it so figured it was time to report this.


All computers are Win 10 64bits (1803 since 1809 hasn't been given to me yet (based on prev. updates I'll get it just before 190x comes)) and no Windows settings changed only Comodo IS updated but that shouldn't block seeing other computers via file explorer.

:)

 

After recent update...why can't I see all my computers on my network anymore?

Possible that the network discovery on your computer was turned off after installing the Windows update. Network discovery is a network setting that affects whether your computer can find other computers and devices on the network and whether other computers
on the network can find your computer. To assist you further, we suggest that you check if the network discovery on your computer was turned on.

If network discovery was turned off, you may turn on the network discovery by following the steps below:

• Open the Control Panel.
• Click on the Network and Sharing Center icon.
• Expand Private network profile for the one you want to turn on network discovery.
• Click on Save changes.
• Select Turn on network discovery and click on Save changes.

After following the steps, check if you will be able to see all computers on your network.

Cant see computers on network shares


I have 3 computers on the network. All have shared folders . My problem is as follows.

Lets call the computers c2, c3, c4. I am using network shares

When on computer c4 , computers c2 and c3 are not listed at all under network. Sometimes I do see c3 listed but cannot access it.

In computers c2 and c3 , all computers are listed and I can view all the shared folders in c2 , c3 including those on C4.

I cant understand why c4 have such problems viewing other computers on the network. I have rebooted router ( E4200) and computers but still have same problem .

All shared folders are properly shared. and no passwords are required for networks in adv sharing .

Not sure how to proceed to fix problem . Please advise Tks
