Windows 10, Version 1809. Network does not show computers

In Win10, v 1809 I go to "Network" in file explorer and no computers are showing - neither my computer nor other computers on the network.

I was able to find the ip address of the computer I was searching for and successfully ping it via command prompt.

Any ideas?

    You can also use command line (cmd) to delete the trigger of Function Discovery Resource Publication

    Just type

    sc triggerinfo FDResPub delete

    Enter, and the trigger is gone.

    If you want to add it again, type (copy/paste)

    sc triggerinfo FDResPub start/strcustom/FBCFAC3F-8460-419F-8E48-1F0B49CDB85E/PROFILE_CHANGED_TO_PRIVATE

    To sum up the problem, the trigger caused all the trouble. Once it's deleted everything works fine.

    Again, thanks a lot to BenoitHuard, who found the weak spot.

    I wonder why Microsoft set the trigger at all, I think it was introduced with Version 1809. Doesn't make any sense.

    Please see this article about activating SMB v1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support published in September 2016 - https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Storage-at-Microsoft/Stop-using-SMB1/ba-p/425858. In short, SMB v1.0 isn't safe. It is not activated on my computer and it does not need to be activated to solve the issue of Windows 10 Network Computers Not Showing in Explorer.

    You can find the workaround for this problem in this post: FIX: Windows 10 Network Computers Not Showing in Explorer. (Solved)

    Thank you for your input, however, have been down that path a long time ago, the workarounds which worked on my system are recorded earlier in this thread.
