I have two W10 computers connected as a workgroup. As far as I know
every thing is done correctly and identically on both computers.

But when I display the network on computer A all I can see is computer
A with no sign of B.

And when I display the network on computer B, yet again, all I can see
is computer A with no sign of B.

What am I missing?

I've made a change to the virtual network by means of which computer B
connects to the Internet. B still connects to the Internet but can
find neither A nor itself on the network. It can still find the two
printers on the network. Meantime A can see everything. (?)

Windows diagnostics has looked at B's network adaptor but now says
there is something wrong but it hasn't got enough information to
decide what. I don't really think its a physical fault and more likely
to be configuration.

But now it's fixed!

For details see the post from Good Guy and my response.

Can't see either of them.

OK make sure all these services are running and if they aren't, change
them to run automatically:

The services a
DNS Client
Function Discovery Resource Properties
SSDP Discovery
UPnP Device Host Properties

Please also make them Automatic by right-clicking on the item and
changing the properties.

That is £20 for the service!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have checked on both machines and found that 'Function Discovery
Resource Properties' seems to now be named 'Function Discovery
Resource Publication' and 'UPnP Device Host Properties' has been
abreviated to 'UPnP Device Host'. I presume these are the same
services you had in mind.

I have checked both machines and found the situation was the same on
each. On each machine all four services were running. However only the
DNS Client was set for an automatic start. All the rest were manual.

I have changed them all to automatic start and after rebooting I found
I have my network back!

And this morning I have found that A has gone and hidden again. I've
checked all the service settings and found they remain as you
recommended.

Rending of hair and gnashing of teeth!


Many, many thanks. The jungle that is Windows has grown up around me
and I no longer am able to distinguish desirable plants from weeds.

I would gladly give you £20 for the service but I suspect our local
pubs are too far apart.

After spending half the afternoon going through every possible setting
on both computers - and changing nothing - Damn me, IT'S BACK!

Gremlins are the simplest explanation.
