The visibility of private networked machines in FileExplorer remains flawed in latest

Edition Windows 11 Pro
Version 25H2
Installed on ‎01/‎04/‎2026
OS build 26200.8875
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.334.0

When these machines connect through WiFi/Wireless to the exact same private network they do show up in FileExplorer>Network.
However, when hardwired, Ethernet connected they disappear - this has been the case for a couple of months now and remains unresolved.

Did you check to see if the machine's IPs have remained the same after switching?
I have no such issues.

You blame MS for your woes but I have no such issues.

IP's change but not the network, and I blame MS of course because nothing else has changed in my setup but Windows Updates.

Maybe you could hit the Feedback Hub to report the problem or see if others might have brought it up.

... and of course all works as it should if I manually restart the Function Discovery Resource Publication service (FDResPub) even though it is running.
