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.

    I found the same: all appears to be ok, but not working. Remote Desktop doesn't work either. Other computers on network are fine, only the Windows 11 machine, after this fateful update, is not working.

    Whooops! Suddenly all's fine!

    There's an hour of my life I wont get back though ..

    I got same problem recently.

    From command prompt, run following command.

    Get-NetConnectionProfile

    Then confirm if NetworkCategory is private. If public, let me know!

    PS C:\Users\HGDx2k> Get-NetConnectionProfile

    Name : Unidentified network
    InterfaceAlias : Lucky7
    InterfaceIndex : 22
    NetworkCategory : Private <== Here!
    DomainAuthenticationKind : None
    IPv4Connectivity : LocalNetwork
    IPv6Connectivity : NoTraffic

    did you have to "force" server signing or was "client defined" sufficient on your Synology NAS, as I am experience a similar poroblem after upgrade to 24h2 all 23h2 PCs don't have an issue

    Got the same problem.

    My Synology NAS and other PC's with shares do not show up in "Network". Thou typing it's explicit name or IP-adres, gives me access.
    It does show as a "Media device", but not for file sharing.
    Same for my "old" pc, sharing a couple of directories on Windows 10 pro

    They do show up in "other devices", but that opens their webpage or give information, not the shares.

    All the mentioned services are up and running. And everything worked fine in 23h2

    OS: Windows 11 Pro 24h2
    NAS running SMB sharing
    Win 10 Pro PC's, windows file sharing

    Problem solved:
    Had to enable "server signing" on my Synology NAS. It was already user + password protected, but this option put my NAS back on the "Network".

    Also had to tick "allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection"

    Windows 10 Pro pc's are back on "Network", so is my NAS.
