Hi,
im running four machines with Win11. Few days ago i performed a 'clean instal' of Win11 Pro on 3 of them. The last one still has got an
upgraded installation from 'Windows 10 Home' to Win11.

The problem is:
In 'Network' (on all machines) i can only see two of my total four PCs. I can access the 'invisible' ones only by typing in their IPs. Then i can also see (and open) their shared folders.
The 'Network Discovery'/network detection is enabled on all PCs.

What can i do to see all my PCs in 'Network' ?

Greets from Europe !

File explorer's Network section has been unreliable since Windows 10 Version 1803 and shows no signs of ever being fixed.
- Like many others, I no longer even bother to look in File explorer's Network section.
- Like many others, I have made a shortcut to each Network computer to put on each Network computer and I use them. instead

I use the syntax
\\NETWORKCOMPUTERNAME\
\\NETWORKCOMPUTERNAME\SHAREDFOLDERNAME
If you prefer IP addresses then you can use them instead.

And welcome to ElevenForum.

It's really worth making time to browse through the ElevenForum Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every ElevenForum page [within the Tutorials dropdown list].
- At the foot of the ElevenForum Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.
- ElevenForum tutorials are also listed at Tutorials and there's a shortcut to that at the top of every page.

You can search ElevenForum using the search box in the top-right corner of all ElevenForum webpages or using Advanced Search - ElevenForum
- You can also search ElevenForum threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:elevenforum.com after your search term. For example,
Taskbar setup site:elevenforum.com
- [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of ElevenForum webpages does automatically]

Not as far as I understand it.
TenForum used Google if I am correct, Elevenforum uses the Xenforo Platform and has its own search engine.
