    PCs icons missing in Network Folders


    Hi,


    I have 4 PCs on my Home network. Every PCs can access each others. However the PCs icons are missing in the Network folder in file explorer.


    To access a PC I have to type \\PC1, or \\PC-2, or \\PC-3, \\PC-4 to access each PC shared folders in the address bar or click the down arrow in the address bar and select the PC I wish to access.


    What settings do I have to change to display the PCs icons in my Network folder. I have search the web noticed many discrepancies between the proposed solutions. Note I use Win10 Pro ver. 20H2.


    Thanks in advance for your help.

    My Network Places Icon

    already tried that *Frown PCs icons missing in Network Folders :( TweakUI shows the icon checked so it should be showing .but as he has deleted it manually it wont appear.

    the icon itself doesnt seem to be linked to anything except network connections folder ,which doesnt show shared files on the other PC, is strange.

    Network icon missing

    The network icon that appears in the bottom left notification tray area is missing, and has been missing for awhile. I've followed steps for deleting a couple registrys, as well as turning off and on certain notifications in the settings menu. Neither
    worked.
