Windows 10: Startup order of a Network

I have my wireless network setup for over 6 years and it has worked just fine for all this time.

Except for this awkward problem. the network consist of two machines, a desktop running W10 Home build 1909 and a laptop W10 Pro build 1909. If I turn on the desktop first and then the laptop neither machine sees the other. However, If I turn on the laptop first and then the desktop both machines communicate just fine. In the first case, desktop, first I have to do a cold restart start of the desktop to get them to work together. After 6 years I have finally gotten tired of this behaviour.

I didn't just fall off the turnip truck but have exhausted my knowledge of networks and need some help in fixing the problem.

Could it be that pro machines and home machined don't like to live together on a network?

Thanks for any help.
