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.

    It seems that a variety of these postings has worked for me....at least once the computers on my home PRIVATE network FINALLY hook up they seem to stay that way. Waiting for update Tuesday tomorrow to see if I can still have all 3 of mine see each other like they used to. For now I am happy with all the workarounds that seem to have contributed equally and severally to allowing me to network with my 3 computers ALL the time once they finally hook up and stay that way. Seems to NOT BE an exact science. Took myself off of PREVIEW too >>>> Don't Do It !!!!
