Network missing devices

Question

I am running an Asus X540sa laptop under windows 10 21H2, up until a week ago everything was fine, I could see all the devices on my network via File Explorer>network

Then without any reason they all disappeared, Only my own laptop shows! I have checked all the normal settings and they are correct, I do not have SMB 1.0 ticked as my NAS are SMB2/3 compliant and as we all know SMB 1.0 can leave you wide open to hacking.

All of my other machines 2 x Dell desktops and HP laptop show all devices under network. and help advice greatly appreciated

Hi @Tesla6518

If you have made any recent changes to the PC try restoring the PC or uninstalling any recent updates. You can also try the below steps and see if they are helpful.

Make sure that in the Private network profile section the following options are checked:

-Turn on network discovery + Turn on automatic setup of network-connected devices;
-Turn on file and printer sharing;
-Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections (recommended)

Go to Settings -> Network and Internet -> Ethernet (or select Wi-Fi, if you are connected to a local network through a wireless connection). Click the network icon and verify that the Make this PC discoverable option is enabled.

Hope this resolves your Query!!
