Can't see one client PC on network  

We have a small 3 Windows 10 PC client LAN. My problem is:
1 can see 2,
2 can see 1,
3 can see 1 and 2
1 and 2 cannot see 3

All three are running the same Windows 10 Version (see below).
The network is CAT5e ethernet, with the clients connected through a small switch.

I followed the "how to" and found that C was in a different workgroup. All required services are running, as well as SMB Direct. SMB1 is disabled across all three. All three have folders shared to "everyone" on the network.

I changed 3 to the correct workgroup name, rebooted. 1 and 2 still can't see 3's shared folders. 3 still sees 1 and 2.

I read in the how to change the workgroup name that one member found they had to use the CLI to get his to work. I tried that in powershell and it replied that the PC was already in that workgroup.

This isn't a new problem. Seems like this has been with us since Windows 10 killed homegroups. I can't exactly recall which PC initially created the homegroup, may have been 3. Could there be some registry settings interfering from the obsolete homegroup?

Network performance is otherwise trouble-free.

Any additional help in troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated.

Open Powershell as a admin and paste Reset-SmbClientConfiguration -all

Do this on all machines. Also see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/smbshare/?view=windowsserver2022-ps

Have you tried the troubleshooters in:

Settings->Update&Securities->Troubleshooter->Add.Troubleshouters....?

You may try "Shared Folders", "Incoming connections" or "Network Adapter".

I get:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Reset-SmbClientConfiguration -all
Reset-SmbClientConfiguration : The term 'Reset-SmbClientConfiguration' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,

Get-SmbClientConfiguration works fine.

try just Reset-SmbClientConfiguration -All

Same error. I've been nosing around thru those links you provided and have fallen down the rabbit hole of powershell configuration. I've installed V7 and get the same error. I try the built in version (5.x?) and get the same error.

Tried it without the -All as well. Not found.

Other SmbShare cmdlets are found. Just not the one I need.

Get-SmbShare

Get-SmbShare

Yeah, that one works too.

Example 2: Get a specific SMB share on the local computer

Yes, that works as well. Get seems healthy. Reset-SmbClientConfiguration isn't working.
