Windows 11 update 24H2 changes network access

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.

    Nice to have the FDResPub.bat code details...just sayin' LOL

    Here is a different approach from 2022. 😉 Not sure if it is still valid. 😂

    a fix for Function Discovery Resource Publication. (FDResPub service) - Microsoft Community

    Edit:

    That did not work. 😵‍💫😝

    At least my method still works. 🤞

    The problem goes back to 2018 with Windows 10. 🤐

    Windows 10, Version 1809. Network does not show computers - Microsoft Community

    And Windows 11 in 2021. 😂😂😂

    Windows 11 Build 22449.1000, My PC does not show on the network unless - Microsoft Community

    Just the 2 commands to stop and start FDResPub. I think you can find old threads on the subject on the web. 😉

    @ECHO off

    timeout /T 3

    net stop FDResPub

    net start FDResPub

    On mine I added an extra line to open the network window before issuing the 2 commands, seems to work better if the network windows is open when the 2 commands are issued.

    I made a shortcut on the desktop to open the network (renamed as MyNetwork, I could not find a way to call the existing Network shortcut directly. 🤷‍♂️

    @ECHO off

    timeout /T 3

    C:\Users\FGG18\Desktop\MyNetwork.lnk

    net stop FDResPub

    net start FDResPub

    @StanPolitowsky,

    I still have a task in task scheduler that I used when the problem 1st started with Windows 10.

    I had it disabled when the problem appeared to be fixed with Windows 10, but now I can use it again to get around this bug that is coming back with Windows 11. Last time I changed the batch file was over a year ago.

    I just enabled the task again and it does the trick with this Builds too. 👍

    Yes that is what I am trying to say. It does not do this on Windows 10.

    I had the same issue with windows 10, when I first reported the problem. That was over 2 years ago. 😂😂🤷‍♂️

    Anyway, to fix half of the issue, I just changed this from manual to Automatic, at least it will make the PC visible to the other PCs on the network right after windows comes up.

    Looks like the Manual (Trigger Start) is not working at all with latest Builds.

    You can upvote the FBH report below or file a separate one for 24H2.
