File Explorer may not detect other devices or perform file sharing on the local network when running Windows 10 version 1803
After installing the Windows 10 April 2018 Update (Windows 10 version 1803), File Explorer cannot connect to other devices running version 1803.When clicking the Network tab in File Explorer, other devices on the home network running version 1803 do not appear, and thus I’m not able to perform file sharing or access files on other devices on my home network.
Microsoft is aware of reports that devices running Windows 10 version 1803 cannot connect to other devices on their home network and is investigating the issue.
You can resolve this problem by setting some services to Automatic (Delayed Start) and restarting Windows:
Press the Windows Key and R at the same time to bring up the Run dialog.
Type services.msc in the Run dialog and press Enter.
For each of the following services, locate the service in list, right-click the service and select
Properties.Then set the Startup type
to Automatic (Delayed Start) and select Apply.
Computer Browser (Browser)
Function Discovery Provider Host (FDPHost)
Function Discovery Resource Publication (FDResPub)
Network Connections (NetMan)
UPnP Device Host (UPnPHost)
Peer Name Resolution Protocol (PNRPSvc)
Peer Networking Grouping (P2PSvc)
Peer Networking Identity Manager (P2PIMSvc)
Restart Windows.
