Unable To See This PC As Well As Other Computers On The Network.

Hi William Bravin,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In order to get clarity on this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

1. Have you installed any VPN connection application on your computers?
   
2. Are the computers connected to any Domain Network?
   

Meanwhile, try the below methods and check if you are able to see the computers in the network.



Method 1:
Network Troubleshooter.

1. I suggest you to run the Network Troubleshooter by going to
   Settings > Network and Internet > Status.
   
2. Under Change your network settings, select
   Network troubleshooter and follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that fixes the problem.
   

If that doesn’t fix your connection problem, try Method 2.



Method 2:
Executing The Networking Commands.

1. Click on the Start Menu > Search for
   Command Prompt > Right-click on Command Prompt > Click on
   Run As Administrator.
   
2. Once the Command Prompt is up and running, type the following command in the Command Prompt and hit
   Enter after each command.
   

• ipconfig /flushdns
  
• ipconfig /registerdnsipconfig /release
  
• ipconfig /renew
  
• netsh int ip reset
  
• netsh winsock reset
  

1. Once the above commands are executed successfully,
   restart the computer once and check if you are able to see the computers in the network.
   

If you are not able to see the computer in the Network, then follow
Method 3.



Method 3:
Disabling Internet Protocol Version 6.

1. Press the Windows and R keys > Type
   ncpa.cpl > Hit Enter.
   
2. Once the Network Connection window is opened,
   double-click on your Network Adapter > Click on
   Properties and locate the Internet Protocol Version 6 entry on the list.
   
3. Disable the checkbox next to
   Internet Protocol Version 6 > Click on Apply >
   OK.
   
4. Restart the computer once and check if you are able to see the computer in the Network.

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.

Let us know the outcome and if you need further help.
