    Since the Windows 10 Creators Update, one of my computers cannot be seen on the Network from other computers, although I can view it by typing \\Computer Name. It just won't display automatically like all my other computers.

    All the computers on the network are Windows 10. Is there some refresh that I can do on the problem computer? I am certain that it is a Window issue, but I just don't know how to make it show up. I can keep typing \\Computer Name, but I would rather it displayed like the others.

    Any ideas?

    It's a bug. No fix yet as far as I know. Interestingly, Android devices can see the shares.

    Hadron, I had it on several of my computers for a week or so and then it disappeared. No idea why. All OK now.

    Yes, I don't know either, Brian.
    All my tests indicate that everything is OK.

    It's just not displaying, that's all.

    This is not a mistake or bug or issue. In the past was so, that the computer sharing in the internet was always enabled by default.
    Now, this is disabled by default, and every user has to enable it himself, if was not enabled already during installation.
    It's that simple. I tested it himself alredy about months ago, everything works.

    Hi kaljukass.

    Maybe you misunderstood the problem.
