New Win10 update, network computers are gone!

[Bires]

I've been working on this at work for the past two hours and I'm completely stuck. I installed the newest build (non-beta) and now I cannot connect to the computers' folders.

The networked printer still works fine, and the other computers can see my desk computer, but my desk computer can't see anything.

Ideas?

Update like patch or update like upgrade ver1511?
The upgrade messed up networking.
Try this?

Was able to solve my problem by running netcfg -d from command prompt on each computer, and then rebooting each. Everything worked normally after that.

I opened up explorer, clicked on network in the left pane, which only showed a local device and network printer in the right pane, I then went to the window that was diplaying the local device and printer and in the middle of this window right clicked and clicked refresh.

Newest Win10 version (with the whole ring of patience updating thing).

Thanks for the tip, but nothing in that thread helped me.

When I do the netcfg -d, I get this

We are going to reboot now to complete the clean up. Save all of your work.
Press any key to continue...

Rebooting does nothing and the error isn't fixed.

Did you try connecting by URL? Can you do a clean install? Every thread I read about networking issue not one user stated they did a clean install. So I'm think upgrading messes up the networking.

Same install I've been using since last summer.

It is one Win10 comp connecting to a lab of 30+ Win7 comps.

Fun update: On a Win7 comp I created a shortcut to the network drive I needed and then copied that shortcut to my win10 comp. Oddly, it worked. The win10 comp connected just fine to the network drive and it still had read-write access, but it still isn't seen in explorer (even when moving files between the two).

I don't MS think will release a patch to fix this. I've known about the issues since Nov. Others have reported that URL/shortcut will work.
Are you going to copy all the shortcuts in a folder?
It's like the best shortcut to get things working.
Researching will take more of your time.
Reinstall Win10 will probably fix it but can you afford the downtime?

Ha. Nope. I'm going to live with opening/mapping network drives with shortcuts.

My NAS disappeared at some point in the last month. I found some cmd line items to paste in about "lanman". Maybe that'll help?

Your network connection may have switched to "Public" from "Private", which stops discovery of other computers on the network automatically.

Right click on the network sys-tray icon and select "Open Network and Sharing Center". You can see then if the type is Public or Private.

If it's public, go to "Start Button->Settings->Network" and there under your network selection (under Advanced Settings, I think) , there'll be an option "Make this PC discoverable". Turn that to true, which in turn will change your connection to Private. I am not sure why there is no straightforward way to select a connection to be either public or private.
