Windows 10, Version 1809. Network does not show computers

@TcatHF

You are most welcome - glad the workaround helped you!

Hello Galileo1564

I have 5 pcs in a home network, a home-build Desktop, an ASUS Notebook, an Intel ComputeStick, Surface Studio, and Surface Pro4.  The Desktop is ethernet only.  The rest are Ethernet or Wi-Fi.  The ComputeStick is still on build 1803 and has no network problems.  The rest are build 1809, and  would not see themselves, or the other 1809 devices, in File Explorer.  They were all connected to the network and I could access them using shortcuts (\<Computer name>).  The command script made things better, but the devices that had Ethernet or Wi-Fi adapters had to be connected via Wi-Fi, and the device display in File Explorer was inconsistent.  The direct task, by waiting until a network connection was established, solved the problem, all 1809 PCs now appear in File Explorer, and those with two adapters can be connected by Ethernet, or Wi-Fi.  The range of the devices, two of them over five years old, to the latest, only six months old, shows it to be a good, robust solution.  Well done.

Great, I'm glad it has helped another victim...LOL.  I'm afraid that there is no "specific" way to be notified if/when this issue is finally addressed by MS. 

I would suggest that after each monthly cumulative update (or the 19H1 upgrade) that you simply go to Task Scheduler, right click the task, click "Disable" (NOT "Delete"), reboot your system, and then check "Network" in File Explorer to see if things are working.  If not, then go back to Task Scheduler and "Enable" the task...and wait until the next month's CU and try this again, etc, etc, etc.  Yep, its clumsy, but I know of no other approach to explicitly validate that this/your issue is solved.

galileo1564 - Thank You, your workaround method seems to be working well for me.  I wonder if there is some way to get notified when MS fixes the problem so we will know when to remove the Scheduled workaround Task.
