I have two pc's that are almost identical hardware, with W11 Home, but one has not yet updated to 24H2 while the other has.
The apps links shown on the bottom of this image are not present on the 24H2 version, which is a retrograde step as finding the settings app should be easy..
Annoyingly the 24H2 update seems to have broken the network sharing, and finding advanced sharing settings to enable file transfer isnt easy.
Its been working until this morning, but now I'm unable even to see other devices from the "un-updated" machine.

2024-10-18T18:55:19+00:00 You are a star for trying! Thank you. What you are showing is exactly what I would have expected/hoped for. I did a clean install of 24H2 2033 with no transfer of settings. Exactly the same problem - can't see any devices on network except the Synology NAS. Only difference from your set up might be Win11 Pro vs Home. I'll probably give up on 24H2 and stick to 23H2 which does work OK. If I discover anything I will post it here.

26100.2033, is one update behind mine, the problem I described was happening with Build 26100.2152 which is the latest 24H2 update in R.P..
All the other machines on my network are on 23H2.
Sorry, I don't have 26100.2033 anymore, so I cannot check out the same configuration you have.
I may have another PC where I can install 26100.2033 and see what happens. 🤷♂️
From your description you don't see any of the other PCs on the network from the one with 26100.2033.
Edit:
I got one machine with Build 26100.2033, sorry I cannot reproduce your problem, I can see all the other PCs on the network from the one with 24H2. (Showing below as K3-PRO-24H2) no problem from any of the other PCs either. 🤷♂️
Without seeing your exact configuration settings, I cannot even guess what could be causing your issue. 🤷♂️

2024-10-17T10:34:56+00:00 Hi - thanks for taking the trouble to reply. However, your advice points have I believe been covered before in previous posts. I checked through all items again and still no progress. My build on the 24H2 machine is 26100.2033. The other 4 machines frequently connected on the network are on 23H2 and are working fine. It is just the 24H2 machine which is not showing devices under Explorer Network. I can however identify and link to the other machines (and the Netgear Router's Readyshare USB) using network shares and mapping. Below is a screenshot of Network devices when running DESKTOP-7RFCN5O under 23H2.
The second screenshot is of what shows under 24H2 after all the advice and suggestions from you and others had been taken on. The only device showing under Network is the NAS.
Of course, this may be something straightforward that I have overlooked. But it is mighty frustrating. Any ideas? Please note that I have tried everything suggested previously on this set of posts.
