Windows 10: Sharing between 2 PCs keeps coming and going

PC A recently updated to Win10 Pro v 1809. PC B is on Win10 Home 1803, both with all available updates.

PC A and B have been set up with sharing for years. Recently, and seemingly worse since PC A updated to v 1809, the sharing comes and goes. Sometimes both PCs can see each other and access each others folders and files and sometimes neither one can access the other. The PC shows in the Network window but double clicking the icon causes Windows to say it can't find the PC. During all these times the network is up and running fine. Since the sharing is working part of the time I figure that it is set up correctly. I have no clue as to why the sharing keeps coming and going.

Where should I look to unravel this mystery?
