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.

    Yeah, that is not how one should behave on a professional forum.  I am sorry you are having to deal with that.

    I was just confused. Personally, I am not a trained IT Tech... my degrees are in Mathematics and Statistics. Although I have done around 1,200 installs in the past 4 years. I am essentially a Math teacher that couldn't find a job in that field and fell into working on computers. So, there is plenty I don't know. 

    I hope you have a great day and don't let basically cyberbullies get under your skin.  Btw, my name is Mike.  My full bio is on my website, which is also my handle on here.  Just including that so you know you are talking to the person you are meaning to and not the other guy.

    Huh?  I am still in the dark...

    I never changed my name nor mentioned teens.  Also, I have not deleted any posts.

    I really am scratching my head on this one and I look nothing like Chalie Brown.  I don't have my main workstations up, so I can't see the full thread.  All I know is I have started getting these emails this morning on my phone.

    Btw, I am not 32 either... I am 43.

    I really am sorry if my answer offended you, but could you please stop sending me harassing emails about it? I was only trying to help and also see if anyone had any better solutions. 

    So am I. >>Confused.

    REPEAT, this has nothing to do with you or your answer

    I understand you never changed your name. I stated I suspected you could also be Richard. Just assumption because of Richards behavior & uncalled for attack on me for posting a web link here.

    Charlie Brown was for Richard. He made comment about kids or teens. Looks like he might have edited or deleted the Teen or kid comment. That is why I stated I was 32. Made no mentions of anyone else's age.

    I never sent you any email. You are subscribed to this thread, and is why you are getting emails.

    Harassing. This is my point. I am tired of Richard's emails harassing me. Making false accusations & posting nonsense.

    Have a nice day CC .org.

    I am as baffled in all of this as you are. I post 1 comment & have a stalker crybaby attacking me.
