Local network problems with 1903

I have updated 3 of my 4 computers to 1903, now none of them can see each other in the explorer network section, but each of them can see the NAS drive on the network. I have checked the network sharing settings and they are all set as make this computer discoverable. Oddly the JRiver media centre servers show up in windows explorer, but the computers which they are on do not appear. Any suggestions?

I think I may have finally resolved the issue.  Took some time, but finally have positive results... Let's see if this works for y'all.

First:  Make sure you have the correct services running.  Right click the start menu, click run and type in "services.msc"  Make sure all of the following services are set on automatic (delay start).  Note, if your system is fast enough, you may not have to put it on delay start.  I only did that not to bog down the boot time.

     DHCP Client

     Function Discovery Provider Host

     Function Discovery Resource Publication

     SSDP Discovery

     UPnP Device Host

Second: Make sure you have the correct Windows components running.  Open settings, click on Apps, and then in the upper right hand corner, you will find Programs and Features.  Now, on the upper left hand side of this new window, you will see Turn Windows Features On or Off, click that.  Make sure SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support and SMB Direct are both fully checked (not the black box, but a check mark.)  I also have Work Folders Client checked, but not sure if that will affect it.

Third:  Make sure you have Enable Remote Desktop enabled... even if you do not plan on accessing your computer remotely.  Always remember, if you don't have a password on your account, you can't access the computer remotely anyway.  This is found under Settings, then System, and finally the last choice on the bottom left.

Fourth and Final Step:  Make sure you are on a private network.  Click on the network icon on the toolbar, and select Network and Internet Settings.  If under your connection device, it says public, click on either the Ethernet or WiFi link, and change it to Private.

Now, reboot the computer, and see if this works. 

I have been trying to find a solution to this since May.  Please let me know if this helps.  If not, I will keep trying.  Someone has to work the bugs out.

    Changed the name because it was too forward.

    Next, Over the years ??? >> NOT!

    Next. Why do you give a rats behind if someone posts a new comment & someone else replies ???

    Next, posting a comment is >>>

    Many of the replies associated could/would be considered confrontational (or ****headed, at best))?

    So my comment or replies are now confrontational ????

    Next,

    Now, that being said/asked, more to the point of the topic at hand concerning my reply:

    YOUR REPLY ???

    Hmmm, I just looked at the last 6 replies before mine.

    I do not see you anywhere !!!

    Next, the Poster has the same issue in 1903 that has been happening since V1803 when the Homegroup was removed from the OS.

    So now what is your question or complaint ????

    Are you the Master of the Forum ???

    Are you the decider of what is a good answer or not ???

    Looks like 150K people on that Thread must be worth something.

    ARE YOU MAD BRO ???

    By the way, those links are my Fathers Articles!

    Pssss.... FYI, This is my 1st account used here.

    DO YOU STILL HAVE A PROBLEM ????

    GET A LIFE !!!

    And actually, the rules state, that you are not suppose to confront others in the manner you did me!

    To challenge someone on their questionable comment is acceptable to me in my book.

    I see all kinds of ridiculous non helpful comments to posters. So to suggest it is incorrect to another person, is how life works. People communicate! But I never even did that. So, you are out of line big time. Very Obtuse!

    But to start assuming things and try busting my balls, is outright rude & uncalled for.

    I was beginning to think I was 7 again & my parents were telling me not to walk in mud puddles because it was wrong or causing them some sort of dismay.

    I will make sure to change my user name every time I come on here, SINCE MICROSOFT GIVES EVERYONE THAT PRIVILEGE. Then that will make you really angry.

    I am still trying to figure out why. I do not believe I have even commented on the same threads as you have !!!!

    Realy,

    First off, why do you keep changing your user profile name (on a seemingly rapid regular basis), is this you A. User ("This profile is inactive", yet once again). I've seen this apparent anomaly manifest over and over again over the last at least several years.

    Many of the replies associated could/would be considered confrontational (or ****headed, at best)? I could of course be wrong, but is this you just being you, (as in the many, ever changing, past aliases?) (The last two being "The_Genius_Within" and now "E= mc2" (with the same profile picture and seemingly, also, containing the same type of communication style/predetermined protocol))?

    Now, that being said/asked, more to the point of the topic at hand concerning my reply:

    The linked "Discusion" shows a "Last updated September 7, 2019" entry yet the in body text states "Revised 6-23-2018 Final".

    Which would be the most correct/accurate or to the point, as in true here, (or was it just more of an error of omission that version 1903 is never mentioned within the body of the text of the linked to dialog)?

    Inquiring minds want/need to know.

    -Richard
