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.

    ¿Por qué mi red está estropeada después de actualizar a W11 24h2?

    Todo probado.

    Sgo sin poder mi red de PC'S

    No puedo ver mis PC's conectados a la red desde la actualización 24h2

    Si hago un PING si que responden, por lo que el problema es de la actualización 24h2

    solo puedo concluir que la actualización 24/H2 ha introducido una anomalía, hasta ahora, no reconocida. Me pregunto por qué ha habido tan poca aportación de Microsoft a este hilo oficial de la Comunidad de Microsoft.

    Saludos

    The first step to troubleshooting your problem is to ignore whatever Norton is saying and remove that junk from your computer. It's completely unnecessary and will only complicate network-related issues as it tries to maintain arbitrary control of your computer, while doing little more than hogging system resources that could better be utilized elsewhere.

    Norton randomly blocking and unblocking computer connections is a symptom of the Norton software, not Windows, and just further reason to avoid using the software entirely. It's pointless to try to troubleshoot a Windows problem when you've simultaneously got separate issues created by running the Norton software.

    I have this exact same problem, wondering if you could tell me how to get to these settings, as I'm not as proficient at this stuff as I used to be :-) I can see my NAS from my upgraded PC, but I can't get any of my Network Drives to work. I can see my NAS settings if I log into it. This is really a bad look for Microsoft, my goodness.

    how about fix the update, this kept me out of my file server for almost a full day until I uninstalled update, fixed. I've got all updates stopped until you guys fix this, there's too many computers to change just because you guys screwed up.

    It's clear from the many posts in this thread that there are 2 possible problems being caused by Windows 11 update 24H2.

    1. Network attached drives and computers are no longer visible in Windows file Explorer.
    2. Windows errors when attempting to map network attached drives.

    My own problem relates to that stated under Problem 1. Despite trying every suggested setting in this thread and other various posts on the Internet, nothing has helped to restore my ability to browse my NAS drives directly using Windows Explorer and SMB. Nothing, that is, other than rolling back to Windows 11 23H2!! It would be most helpful if someone from Microsoft joined this discussion and confirmed that they are aware of both of these problems and are working towards a proper solution.
