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.

Unfortunately the "sc config fdrespub depend= RpcSs/http/fdphost/LanmanWorkstation" HACK does not work anymore. The dependency is created but does not stop FDResPub from "not doing its job" and having to stop and start as noted above or below. Also need to enable Printer & File Sharing in Firewall settings, especially the (Restrictive) ones. Hope this helps.
Hi @fg2001 - I applied your batch file shown below as a scheduled task on logon etc. (After setting up link to Network on the desktop and calling the shortcut "MyNetwork").
@ECHO off
timeout /T 3
C:\Users<user>\Desktop\MyNetwork.lnk
net stop FDResPub
net start FDResPub
As I said this seems to enable view of host computer (and, as always, a NAS) but none of the other computer devices on the network.
You could just run the batch file when you need it, it doesn't necessarily have to be set in the task scheduler.
Since the local PC still disappears after a few minutes, I just made a shortcut to the batch file, and I run it as admin when I need it. 😉
What is the exact Build # that you have on the other computers?
Users with local windows accounts without password may not work anymore unless the security Policy is modified to accept Insecure Log in.
Windows 11 24H2 and Insecure Guest Logins settings - Microsoft Community
What is your configuration, are you using Ethernet or Wi-Fi?
Using the same network profile on all?
Seems like some basic settings problem.
What about this setting in the Firewall?
Make sure that these 2 services are running on every machine.

Thank you. Getting there! Applied this to my errant 24H2 machine. It does indeed enable the inclusion of the host machine under Network. I just need to find out why other machines on the network are not showing up.....
Hello,
Please explain what you applied. 😎
