Not sure there would be a need to restart FdResPub every 60 seconds - once works for me for as long as the machine is on.
Forgot to mention that the WORKGROUP name makes absolutely no difference in all this. In the past machines would only show up in the private network if the WORKGROUP name...
Yes, I have seen the issue pop up widely for some time with bizarre remedy trials that worked for some and only for some time - for me personally the issue arrived late with 24H2 when Microsoft started playing more with SMB stacks, disappeared immediately with 25H1 only to resurface now for a...
... and of course all works as it should if I manually restart the Function Discovery Resource Publication service (FDResPub) even though it is running.
The visibility of private networked machines in FileExplorer remains flawed in latest

I never had this problem since 25H2 - only now with build 26200.8524 and the only common denominator is the i225 in the affected machines. Since the manual restart of said service immediately resolves this it seems to be the reappearance of the old dependencies sequencing that was broken in...
Of course it is not a driver issue, driver is the same as before and latest Intel. In fact, I also tried a not yet officially released newer version, and still no change and only affects i225 so far for me.
This preview build 26200.8524 breaks! the visibility of (private) Networked machines in File Explorer for 3 of my machines with i225 NIC's - only. i226 is not affected nor are other WiFi connected networked machines on this build. Fix is the old usual manual restart of the Function Discovery...
There are probably several reasons why MS seem to have pulled KB5079391 - for instance one of my machines having received this disappeared from my MS Account (DEVICES) ....
Just finished setting up something you may want to consider: Ugreen DXP4800 + now running Windows 11 Pro after adding 8GB DDR5 to the stock 8GB.
It has a total of 3 NVME PCie 4 slots (2 easily accesible, 1 is occupied with the original 128GB SSD with UGOS O/S ) and 4 bays for 3.5" SATA HD's...
I also have my phone sync snapshots and videos directly onto my OneDrive and this is very useful as I can then pick up editing on any of my synched machines. Also have "on demand" turned off on all connected machines so that I always have local copies available in addition to the cloud.
I really don't get what your issue is - who on this globe is not going to connect at least once a month to the internet when using any of the office applications - I mean what would be the point, are you going to print out your spreadsheet and send it in an envelope across to the recipient by...
