Function Discovery Provider Host & Function Discovery Resource PublicationWhat is the difference between these two options, automatic or delayed start?
Function Discovery Provider Host----
The FDPHOST service hosts the Function Discovery (FD) network discovery providers. These FD providers supply network discovery services for the Simple Services Discovery Protocol (SSDP) and Web Services – Discovery (WS-D) protocol. Stopping or disabling the FDPHOST service will disable network discovery for these protocols when using FD. When this service is unavailable, network services using FD and relying on these discovery protocols will be unable to find network devices or resources.
Function Discovery Resource Publication ----
Publishes this computer and resources attached to this computer so they can be discovered over the network. If this service is stopped, network resources will no longer be published and they will not be discovered by other computers on the network.
Automatic means it will start as the computer is booting up. Delayed means it will wait until after the boot up is complete before it starts.
Hope that helps.
I sure will be glad when MS fixes some of these various networking problems. Supposedly something coming around the the end of June, maybe. In the past my small home network has worked without issue, however since 1803 was released I have be plagued with various networking/network discovery issues. I even have SMB1 both client and server enabled (and yes I am aware of the security concerns, but I can live with them; currently for my network there just isn't any other way) and nearly ever day I have one or more computers disappear from the network or I can't "see" my Asus router. Come on man (MS) fix this sh woops stuff.

I have read and watched as you have done your best to guide users through the quagmire of MS networking and file sharing. I have even picked some tips from you myself. In my opinion, most of the these issues really began last fall when MS disowned SMB1. If SMB1 had become so bad why did MS wait so long to try and do something about? They basically pulled the rug out from under network discovery and file sharing without having done proper testing of SMB2 and SMB3 the apparent heirs to SMB1 to see if they were up to the task(s). The things MS does. They just take dead aim and shoot themselves in the foot. Then it is the end users who feel the pain. That is it. That is the end of my ranting. Not that it does any good, but I sure feel better.
Check your workgroup name under Control Panel, System. The update changed mine to a default "WORKGROUP" that no longer matched the other computers in my LAN...sooo they were gone! All must be in the same workgroup. It took me 2 days to find this!
I didn't read the entire thread but that update wiped out the wifi card driver for me. What a colossal failure. I just could not believe it. No issues with any other machines. Just this. I booted into a mirror I have which worked until it too got "Updated" and broken.
I suppose it's much better than wiping out my "Documents"
Anyway, I fixed it by reinstalling the driver *and* running an update on it.
