For network discovery, it's a common issue.
Open services.msc and make sure the following services are all running:
- DNS Client
- Function Discovery Resource Publication
- SSDP Discovery
- UPnP Device Host
After that turn network discovery on again and it should stay enabled.

Like others I was able to change the items to discoverable but it still is not showing in File Explorer under Network.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.!

What exactly is not showing under Network?
- Tim_HaynesJul 21, 2021Copper Contributor
It is a server. It is now discoverable but it still is not seen in File Explorer > Network.
I have confirmed that the server is marked as discoverable.
