    Hi,

    What's the exact phenomenon? What's the OS version of your windows computers? Did you mean that windows machine cannot see other computers in network?

    If yes, please refer to the following steps:

    1.First make sure the following service is running:

    • Function Discovery Provider Host
    • Function Discovery Resource Publication
    • SSDP Discovery
    • UPnP Device Host

    2.Function Discovery Resource Publication and Function Discovery Provider Host relates to the "Network Discovery". Please set Function Discovery Resource Publication and Function Discovery Provider Host service to Automatic (Delayed Start). As picture below:
