Can't see network computers after upgrade to v 1803 (Windows 10) - solved

[@johnharmoniac8896]

My HERO!! Dude - I've been trying for a year to get my 3 in home computers to see each other. In 1 minute, after watching your vid, they're all showing me the shared files I've tried so hard to get to happen! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!

[@charlesgauthier5783]

I have spent the entire day uninstalling updates, messing with crap - unbelievable time wasting stuff - came across your video and viola - it works - I have my 3 computers again taking to each other. Thank you so much!!!

[@potterjazz]

I had this problem with my home network and it solved numerous network-related access problems. Well done "ecologicaltime"!

[@stevensrmiller]

Add me to the list of people who can't thank you enough for this simple, easy fix. Utterly inexcusable that Microsoft can't avoid this problem, much less provide the same quick info on how to deal with it. Googling "computer not visible on windows network" only produces about a hundred-million-billion examples of people who have this problem. Yours is the first real fix I've found. Thanks!

[@C-S-J]

Brilliant, thank you. I have three computers at home, I had no problems with my Haswell-E system seeing my Coffee Lake system and my Ryzen system, but my Coffee Lake system and Ryzen system couldn't see each other. I had tried everything I could think of and more and still couldn't get the two computers to see each other. If it wasn't for the fact my old Haswell-E system could see my Ryzen system, I would have thought some Intel vs. AMD software trickery was preventing my Coffee Lake and Ryzen computers from communicating on purpose. It was the services not starting that was the issue with both systems. Gotta thank Microsoft for purposely making our lives more difficult. Homegroup was perfectly fine, their reasoning to remove it was iffy at best, without it it just makes things more difficult for people that aren't network savvy. Hardware has always been my thing, not networking so this was a big help.

[@iamtanec]

Thank you very much! This is the step that saves me: Services > Function Discovery Resources > Start

[@muhammadsaad9215]

Love you man

[@christieanglin5512]

Thank you, thank you... this not only helped me get my Windows 10 computers showing up on each other again, but also made one of my Windows 10 computers that hasn't been showing up show up again on my Windows 7 laptop. Something I have been trying to solve for some time and came back to give one more try today. Everywhere else I read gave the same old same old that I had already done, going into the Services was something totally new to me and that did the trick.

[@mcna7167]

Thank you so much! You are wonderful. This is what KZbin is all about. People helping people. I have a 5 computer network in my home, consisting of three laptops, and two desktops, and after I upgraded 4 of them to Windows 10, I noticed this issue of not seeing my shared folders. Well this worked perfectly. You would think Microsoft would have addressed this issue with a patch by now.

[@dylanhakkennes3139]

Such a simple solution... Had me frustrated for months now. (With me the problem existed before 1803 as well, sometimes I managed to do "something" that worked temporary, but never could figure it out, what actually made it happen. This however... Great and easy explanation, and hooked up all my computers in a few minutes. Thanks a lot for the video!!! (and of course to the original problem solver Pauli O. as mentioned in the video). Thumbs up!

[@mattw3406]

Thank you so much - this fixed my problem perfectly. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out wth went wrong, though I knew it was due to Windows update breaking something.

[@timparr246]

Me too! What good is setting folders and files to share if those computers can't see the sharing computer? It's deliberate crap from Microsoft to get you to buy other solutions.

[@Angelmist1180]

Thank you so much! This solved my issue after updating to the new 1803 MS Update. I'm now able to see and access my other computers on my home network. The issue was also causing me not to be able to find my printer to print, but that also was resolved with these services started!

[@Rattler808]

I just reinstalled Windows 10 Pro from USB media creation tool and had this problem. its January 2019 and your solution still works, ty man.

[@myatkinsketojourney1740]

Thank you a million times!!!!! I was “this close” to just giving away my laptop, since I had to use a thumb drive to transfer my files back and forth.

[@corypollard]

You are an absolute LEGEND!! I've been tearing my hair out trying to resolve this issue. None of the 'supposedly' solved posts on the net work, but your solution works perfectly 10/10

[@OrphaWy]

I have been struggling with this problem for months. THIS SOLUTION WORKS!!! Thank you so much for sharing with us novices.

[@Cremageuh]

Oh. My God.... Thank you so, so much for this video! I've looked everywhere for a solution to this goddamn problem, I was ready to uninstall and reinstall Win7 . There's no mention of those services ANYWHERE on Microsoft Support website. Thanks to you, my file sharing is now working again at home!

[@davidstaufenberger7681]

Awesome...worked perfectly! I am so glad that people like you take the time to share your intel on things like this.

[@ChesapeakeBoater101]

Thank you so much for sharing this information. I can't tell you how many hours I spent trying to solve this problem with no success. Your very easy to implement solution works like a charm. For those still having problems, you do need to go through each step on each network computer, in my case about 8 computers. Can't imagine how you came up with the solution, but kudos to you for solving it, and double kudos for sharing it! You have made my life, and I'm sure many others. easier.

[@groundhogday7434]

Thank you so much! I wasted about 10 hours of my life trying to figure out why I couldn't share my hard drives until I saw this video.

[@mellaniemellbourne7050]

Just updated a few days ago and saw my shared folder was not showing up. Did all this and it works now. Thank you very much.

[@geoffsimpson1543]

Big THANK YOU. Been searching for hours for a solution after Microsoft dumped Homegroup. This works a treat. Thanks so much for posting. Getting so fed up with Microsoft screwing up our settings every time they force an update/new version on us with stuff most of us don't use. I spend more time sorting out their problems than using the damn thing!!

[@steveestrada3444]

I can not thank you enough!!!... I was on the phone with Microsoft for close to an hour and then got hung up on and they never called me back which is what I thought they would do since they said can we have your phone number in case we lose connection. Anyway... I had given up and found your video here. IT WORKED BEAUTIFULLY!!!... Thanks Again!

[@drumsonn]

Hi I'm from Hong Kong, you know what man, you have just solved my problem and it 's been almost a year that I can not solved, thx a lot man!

[@LeaderActionAlliance]

What a life saver. I worked on this for 3 hours until I found you video. Thanks So Much!

[@reyjefferstone2045]

LIFESAVERRR!!! almost reinstall my PC for this problem.but then I found ur video, thanks a lottt!!

[@laurieshields8238]

Thanks for great video. Was on the verge of going back to Win8.1. Also thanks to whoever it was that mentioned Advced IP Scanner - a very useful tool.

[@rachelf2546]

I love you so fucking much I've spent two hours trying to connect and haven't been able to until now. You, sir, are a gift.

[@kellynorman4667]

Thank you so much! This fixed my problem for the last 7 days of pulling my hair out! I had no idea why I couldn't see my other PCs.

[@nicklindhorst9708]

hey chaps n gals, all of this is great for many, but i had to do a few extra steps. 1. share the folder or drive(right click >properties>ADVANCED SHARING>share it) 2. then go to the specific drive of the folder and( properties> Security>Edit>Add>then type "Everyone" click OK) . So step one is obvious because you need to share the files, but for some reason i had to give permission(step 2) for people to access drive on witch the shared file reside, the steps in the video helped me see the other PCs on the network but i still couldn't connect to them, so hope this helps

[@BOSSMOSS21]

Worked like a charm! Didnt even have to finish the video, problem was solved after 2 minutes. Thank you

[@kevininkster815]

Thank you! This appears to have fixed my problem.....at least until the next Windows update. Thanks again!

[@kashifahmed9444]

Thank you so much! I've been wrecking my brain over this for the last week and absolutely annoyed for not being able to find a way around this. But thank you! And just for that.... Liked & Subscribed!!!!

[@christinakirkpatrick780]

This worked for me. I'm running Windows Server 2016 on my desktop and I had this problem even before installing the server. Once I followed your video, boom I see my network now. Thank you so much for uploading this video!

[@Jamjon34]

Thank you for the post. This worked for me... I have never been able to get a working network with windows 10 till this. Thank you.

[@wasiqfaiz]

Awesome man, you are great. It worked, thanks man, after a 2-hour search I watched your video and my big problem is solved.

[@jonathandouglas7639]

Worked flawlessly on all my computers. Well done, and thank you!

[@mikey803]

Thanks brother. I have been fighting for weeks trying to access my WD mycloud in explorer. That solved the issue!!

[@Kazzukki]

This resolved my problem. I had the network settings correct on both comuters (desktop & laptop) and I only made the changes to 'Services' on my desktop. Some of the settings were at manual start and some I had been stopped. Thank you!

[@super-beetruckaccessories5680]

Thanks, I spent 4 hours trying to figure this out and this answered my question and worked perfectly.

[@ultraliver4897]

You solved my problem. I had googled the issue extensively but your straightforward tutorial did the trick. THANKS.

[@anthonyguter]

Thanks so much. I only have two Windows 10 pcs on my network and one stubbornly refused to admit that the other was there. Now they are talking to each other.

[@24zeespoon]

I've been trying to fix this for about a month. Thanks! Easy and quick. Problem solved.

[@jeffreyosborne6747]

Worked straight out of the box, just as you described. Thanks

[@horcruxesno7]

HAHA!! THANK YOU! Finally; this problem annoyed me for a week, very well done! I hope this fix sticks, i wonder what could have turned these services off because this used to work.

[@Knotdead73]

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! No one at MS never solved things, did not find any information anywhere on the web. Trying to fix this for a month since I got my New Laptop. THANK YOU

[@bobreed4097]

It worked great. Thanks for helping me fix Microsoft's screw up. You did it quickly and to the point!

[@good4jg]

It worked for me, and took only about a minute to do - thanks!

[@dualchargeminis2841]

Wow been looking for a fix to this problem for ages! You know your stuff! Thank you :)

[@bunbunson27]

THANK YOU!!!! Finally got the network sharing woking between my two laptops and two desktops.

[@kook4999]

Thank you. You are god mode and helped me after 1 hour of researching.

[@EclecticLensYT]

Thanks! I figured this out once and couldn't remember what I did to make it work. It was exactly what you showed...!

[@Brollan]

Big Thanks, its working :) I Have been sitting for weeks to find a solution. Thank you for sharing with you.

[@sokratesv]

Thank you for this. I've been searching for a while now for a tutorial like this, and this is the first one that worked for me. Thank you

[@outhousestudio]

Finally! Thank you so much for a straight forward working solution.

[@_Murp_]

I have been with the problem for 2 days and no tutorial of the ones on KZbin has helped me solve the fucking problem with this stupid windows until I have tried what you indicated. Thank you !! I see the network drives! :)

[@AdamBanksNZ]

Fantastic! I had exactly the same problem - now solved! Yay! Many thanks for sharing.

[@w1ndyboi]

You are a total life saver. Been struggling with this problem for quite a time! Thanks a bunch

[@joncd27]

THANK YOU IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS SOLUTION FOR A WHILE NOW!

[@ThiagoBorges100]

It worked! Thank you so much! Perfect video, straight to the point!

[@ElectricSkyUK]

You, my friend, are a LEGEND

[@AdamPrestNZ]

Thank you! Worked for the windows PCs on my office network

[@rodrigolahiru72]

Fixed like a charm !!! Thanks Mate much appreciated

[@philipgraceffa7264]

bro, i been stumped by this for a bit. awesome video, the services not running is what did it for me. Thanks!

[@shoibaford]

Thanks this was causing me a big problem, and thanks for making a clip which was striaght to the point

[@colinc4542]

Excellent. This saved my butt. Thanks very much!

[@NotTheNorm]

Thanks for taking the time to post fix. This solved my problem.

[@anthonymurphy697]

Worked like a dream. You are a life saver. Thank you.

[@janezak3]

Thanks it worked great. Hate these updates which just mess shit up that was configured and working... can't believe this..,

[@YesYou-zy7kp]

Thanks so much. This helped but what I also found out is you need to go to Programs and Features and enable *SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support* and SMB Direct. You need to add this feature through the Control Panel and go to Turn Windows Features on and off. I couldn't see my NAS unless I turned this feature on.

[@menaliz5993]

Thank you so much this fixed the issue for me. I was at a complete lost. God Bless

[@cyootlabs]

THANK YOU, couldn't figure out why the hell I couldn't get my direct pc-pc connection working. One of them wasn't running one of the services.

[@luketaylor5848]

Thank you so much!!! That's been bugging me for weeks!!!!

[@abbyayers9033]

YES!!! This is the only thing that worked for me without doing, "network reset" evertime. THANK YOU!

[@gaigesmith9674]

How do I find the network reset button?

[@abbyayers9033]

@@gaigesmith9674 Go to Settings then Network & Internet then Status. Look down at the bottom.

[@AaronGoodrich77]

That was utterly awesome. Thank you so much!!! I think I need to buy you a cup of coffee.

[@sharpmerciful787]

In addition to following these steps, what worked for me (because the issue has happened again) was going to Settings > Network & Internet > Status, go to Network reset and on the next window click the "Reset now" button and wait 5 minutes (because it's doing the reset) and then it'll automatically restart. When you log back in, you'll get a notification saying "Do you want your PC to be access by other computers", click Yes for that. Your PC should now be shared. Do this only on the PC that can't be seen.

[@fotostudio312]

Thank you for you video. It worked. We connected all our computers.

[@l8nightmike]

Thanks. That saved me a lot of time messing with changes.

[@paulhoppe8581]

For good measure, also ensure that "DNS Client" service is also set to automatic and running.

[@curicastevic]

FINALLY IT WORKS! Thank you!

[@mianclg3072]

Thanks for help, Great help, i was struggling to figuring out from past two days, finely resolved.

[@djfirewolf]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! That was killing me not being able to fix it! I finally can move files again! :D

[@seanlu21]

thank you very much, i am going to configure as you recommend and restart to see how... but anyway, you have given an better solution here.

[@pcstar123]

It works now between my WIN7 and WIN10 PC's, thank you very much. MS sucks!

[@DigitalDawg]

So wish I could say that this worked. Did all this to all my 4 computers and also 4 other additional services (to automatic, delayed) recommended by others (including Micorsoft itself). Tearing my hair out now, despising Microsoft, ready to seek psychotherapy.

[@FroggyFunHouse]

also did not work for me

[@TheGodEmperorOfMankind_]

Just use a 3rd party program for it, I set it up in seconds while I couldn't get the Win 10 one working even if my life depended on it.

[@ruibelo8995]

I've all but given up on Microsoft's very disappointing network explorer and tools. I've resorted to using 'Advanced IP Scanner' (currently a FREE download) which quickly shows and provides easy access to all my networked computers and shares. 'SoftPerfect Network Scanner' basically does the same thing but costs about $40. There are other similar products that are currently free as well. www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/ (currently FREE) www.softperfect.com/products/networkscanner/ ($40+)

[@francescodelbuono3612]

so do i

[@francescodelbuono3612]

Advanced IP Scanner solved! Many Thanks Rui!

[@mohanadalhiti9168]

Thanks .. I tried everything and it didn't work, but now after running services, it was perfect.

[@spinklesoftinkles]

The only video that actually helped. Cheers

[@derekzhang5710]

Simple explanation, work very well, thank you much.

[@patrickkeating253]

Great worked for me . One PC with Win10 Pro the with Win10 Home. The main thing was to ensure that the services were in fact running. One of my services did not start despite being set to start automatically.

[@nodirbeksharipov458]

Daaaamn man! It worked for me, thanks for that. You made my day :-)
