Hello, after updating win 11 23H2 to 24H2 several "computers" are disappeared under the "network"pane in windows explorer.

The day before updating, all computers were attached to my network and visible in windows file explorer.

After update to 24H2 they were gone!

I did see that after updating the option for media streaming were turned off.

I put The media streaming option on again, but that was not the solution.

    One of the reasons why we're getting difficulties now is the new enhanced security measurements. They sure don't make our life easy.
    I can access my NAS now after putting up "secure signing" on my NAS, the NTLM stuff, I told you about and enabling NETBIOS in the network settings.
    I believe it's more secure, but it's quite a challenge to deal with it.

    Sharing drives is one part, but some programs just don't run in the latest Windows 11. I'm having troubles with my VPN provider as well, as their app doesn't even install in my latests Windows version.

    BTW did you try the NETBIOS settings ?

    "Control panel > Network and Internet > Network connectionsright-click on propertiesselect Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Propertiesgo to the WINS tab and enable NetBios over TCP/IP

    click Ok till you exit the network connection.Restart your PC"

    How old is your NAS?

    Does it support SMB3/2, or only SMB1?

    I had to change some settings in my Synology as well, to allow server signing

    you could install SMB 1 under windows features even if this is not recommended

    Thanks, I tried that and it made no difference. Why does Microsoft keep changing things so they don't work anymore, why not just leave things as they were?

    Try the suggestion of Menorcaman: "I had to chenge in group policies under Computer Configuration- Windows Settings- Local Policies- Security Options the setting

    Network security: Restrict NTLM outgoing  :allow all"

    You can start group policies with gpedit.msc
    I've set outgoing as well as incoming.

    Great idea but entering services.msc and changing the options made no difference, what do I do now?
