Network problems

Hi all,

Running W10 64b Pro.
This morning I performed all updates available. I do that once a month.
But now there's something wrong with thye network discovery. All of a
sudden I can't see the other pc's in the LAN.
I went to the Sharing options and saw that in the section Private,
network discovery was turned off. I clicked on "Turn on network
discovery" and "Save changes". When I reopened the sharing options, I
noticed that it was still turned off. I can't turn it on, it simply
refuses that. So - something in Windows is screwed.
Any idea what to do next?

"I have had this problem for about 2 weeks. My windows 10 Pro I use for a
home server stopped sharing files.
When I checked Turn On Network Discovery setting in Change Advanced Sharing
Settings it was off. I set it back to on rebooted and checked again and it
was off again.

I spent hours looking for a solution which seemed to be to ensure the
following services were started.
DNS Client
Function Discovery Resource Publication
SSDP Discovery
UPnP Device Host

All were running but DNS Client settings were greyed out in properties.
I could get the sharing to work for a while by restarting the other 3
services but a server reboot and the shares were gone again.
In the end I tried this and it has so far fixed the issue.

Use regedit to find
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlS et\Services\Dnscache
Double click the Start value in the right hand window and change the value
to 1.

This will change the startup type to System which seems to have fixed my
issue.
Make sure you turn on Network Discovery in Change Advanced Sharing Settings.

Saw that a few people have had this issue so thought I'd post this.
My Windows 10 Pro has all updates as of 28/11/2018."

Unfortunately didn't work for me.

Well, in the top of this article it said "Windows 10 Network Discovery
keeps turning itself off" and I decided to Google on this. Then I found
"Windows 10 Network Discovery keeps turning off for sharing files" on
this site:
http://www.surfacetablethelp.com/201...ing-files.html.
It starts off with this:

"* Press Win + R from your keyboard, type services.msc in the Run box
and click OK button.
* Go to the right side pane of Services List, scroll down to locate the
Function Discovery
Resource Publication, and double click on it.
* Change its Startup option to Automatic, Click on the Start button, and
click Apply OK button
to save changes.
* Repeat the same way with other Services to be running, including DNS
Client, SSDP Discover,
and UPnP Device Host.
But the DNS Client settings becomes greyed out in properties and still
cause the issue appearing
again. Then I try to edit the regedit value to get rid of that in
Windows 10."

The following is the same as SC Tom mentioned.

In my case the service "SSDP discovery" was disabled. After I enabled
it, with starting automatically, all worked well!
