Windows 11 24H2 Network Problems ?

Hi All,
Has anyone got an idea what is wrong with
windows 11 24H2 ?
I have done both a manual update
and a standard windows auto update.
My Network is not functioning properly
All the laptops on the network that are on wi-fi
can bee seen and accessed in full
All computers on CAT 8 ethernet cable
are not listed/shown in file explorer.
If I open file explore and put the name of
the PC I want to access into the address bar
eg:\\Nameofpc\
I can open it,I can access it in Full.
I can Map network drives to the drives which are not been shown in file explorer
and use them in full.

I have re checked all my network
settings such as Network sharing, plus advanced options.
Tried all the network CMD commands in admin mode!
Checked my settings in

Services
--------
set to Automatic (Delay Start)
Function Discovery Provider Host
FDResPub


GPedit
------
Lanman Workstation
Enable insecure guest logons

Any ideas in how to fix this would be welcome ?
In the mean time I have restored my hard drive image
of windows 23H2 and disabled windows update for the time being!!
TY

Did you try this as it fixed my issue

OK with 24H2 Pro 26100.1742 I had this problem.
My Windows 10 Pro could access Windows 11 24H2 through my network, however Windows 11 24H2 could not access my Windows 10 Pro or any earlier versions of Windows 11 Pro Computers this only happened since I went to 24H2.
To fix this issue I did both of these changes in Local Group Policy Editor. And Now all is happy including me. I hope this helps.

Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local Policies, Security Options
Double click on Microsoft Network Client: Digitally sign communications (always)
Double click on Microsoft Network Client: Digitally sign communications (if server agrees)
Set both of these to "Disabled"
Click on OK.

Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, Network, Lanman Workstation
Double click on "Enable Insecure Guest Logons"
Set this to "Enabled"
Click on OK.

Thank you for the suggestion @Wolfzz
I all ready had GPedit options disabled and Eneabled.
I have always had this opton enabled
Lanman Workstation "Enable Insecure Guest Logons"

What I don't understand is why all the wi-fi network links
show up in file explorer yet all the ethernet ones do not?

The Ethernet network drives work perfectly if you type there network address
into windows explorer file directory bar?

Check if SMB are all ticked in Turn Windows features on or off

Yes done that,
it was my first port of call
when I saw the network was not fully functional.
I have gone as far as re installing windows 11 24H2
from an ISO from Microsoft.
The Network fault is exactly the same on the second attempt
to install 24H2
as the first attempt to install 24H2.

I would like this answering if anyone knows?

Make sure you don't install this version as its plagued with bugs especially the network issues.
Windows 11 24H2 26100.2152 (KB5044384)

Only install a fresh Win 11 24H2 either
Windows 11 24H2 26100.1742 ISO and update it with KB5044284 or Windows 11 24H2 26100.2033 ISO
As that is what I did and my WiFi and Ethernet is working fine both ways talking to my Nas and to my older Win 10 Pro Computer
I do use Static IP's though.

Good Luck

​

@Wolfzz, Thanks for your time & the assistance
I am back with win 23H2 for the time being.
I need my PC to do my Job.

I will keep an eye on this thread to see if anyone can
give me a Good explanation on:

"What I don't understand is why all the wi-fi network Shared Drives
show up in file explorer yet all the Ethernet Shared Drives DO NOT ?????"
