Cannot See Other PC's on my Network any more

ryguy015

We have a computer at work that everyone uses for cloud storage and they access it through a shared folder on their individual computers. I recently started working here, and i am using my personal laptop for the time being. I found that the shared folder is just a shortcut of the address that you can get if you access the pc via file explorer/Network tab. I never created a shortcut on my desktop, and now i can only see a few PC's on the Network. A fraction of what i was able to see. Not only that but I cant see or seem to find the "server". I have Network discovery set to on, File and Printer Sharing is set to on. The WiFi Network is set to Private. The Guest or Public Discovery are set to on. I have tried resetting the Network Adapter. Ive been googling like crazy and cant seem to find the solution.

Sorry maybe i didnt clarify. I used to have access and was able to see the Computer. Now i cant find that PC or Countless others on the Network. Only a handfull shows up. I talked with the guy who runs the PC and he said nothing on the Router or the PC was changed.

Have you updated to Windows 1803? I did and I have this very issue on my home network. I don't see any network pc's in Windows anymore. Except on one laptop still running 1709
