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.

this is likely this issue as I did the same thing and it seems to have resolved the issue
I connected to at least 4 MS techs about this issue and none of them had the slightest idea about how to troubleshoot this problem.
it goes back to LAN support as far back as win 95 as far as networking on Windows and the current techs have no clue.
One tech told me to forget it because it was merely a "legacy" issue

"legacy"of the home networks. As I won't run a DC (domain controller) in a network with a NAS and a couple of PC's. DNS request are solved by my router. NETBIOS is used to detect devices when there's no DNS. Indeed, one of the earlier things used in the first networks, where there was no DC in simple corporate networks. But they can't expect a home user with a very limited network to setup a DC.
It is strange when you got your settings right in Windows 10 and upgrade to Windows 11, you ought to figure out what went suddenly wrong.
Then most helpdesks (not only Microsoft) are populated with a couple of unexperienced people, reading a couple of scenario's from their charts. Then you get that kind of answers.
You are on the right track as the network browse list worked clear back to Windows 95.
MS, with update 24 H2 has managed to screw up one of the oldest features in Windows
I have talked to at least 4 MS techs, including one level 2 tech and NONE of them have a clue.
Did not work, my Win 11 Pro laptop is the only one allowed to share files with 11 Pro file server, 12 other PCs, all Win 10 Pro, were working fine, now screwed. Went through each item.
This a small laboratory with scientific equipment and all have specialized software capable of running on Win 10 Pro. Upgrading them to Win 11 Pro is not only not trivial, would cost well over $100,000. Small business screw in favor for huge corporations... AGAIN?
