Windows 10: WINDOWS 10 FILE EXPLORER CANNOT DISCOVER LINUX DEVICES

I expect to be able to see all network computers in the top section of Windows Network Explorer.


This is sometimes the case, but mostly no Linux devices are shown. This means Linux NAS cannot be seen.


UPnP Servers for the devices DO show OK as Media devices, but the device itself and access to shares does not show up.


It IS possible to access by IP address or friendly name.


This is very annoying and is inconsistent.


There seems to be considerable history on this - I have worked through all the alleged fixes - but so far it seems unpredictable whether Network Explorer displays Linux devices or not.


What is going on?


And more important - how to fix it please.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows Explorer Replacement?

I don't use Internet Explorer, I meant the thing where you can look at files etc. Hotkey Windows+E. Maybe it's the wrong name in english though. *Stick Out Tongue

 

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
