Hi folks
I've posted on this before
However to get the whole thing working have a look at my post on another thread
Finally SAMBA problems fixed for W10 plus access to Non Windows - Windows 10 Forums

From your link:

"Enable ALL the SMB V1 items not just the top 3, AND enable the SMB direct - both in Turn Windows on and off"

Where do I do this at? "top 3"? Where are these items?

I have found that a number of problems with SMB resource publication can be solved by disabling the "HomeGroup Provider" service and setting "Function Discovery Resource Publication" to automatic. I don't know if it's germaine to your problem, as my problem was with discovery of other Windows 10 machines over SMB2/3 with SMB1 disabled, but all sorts of Windows machines started showing up properly when I disabled the HomeGroups service and made resource publication a default. HomeGroups seem to mess up regular LANManager (SMB) shares sometimes.
Let me know if this helps.

That worked. As you said, taking those actions on those two services caused my shared servers to show up immediately.

I don't know if it's sabotage or incompetence, but HomeGroup is awful if you're using LANMan shares. Glad it worked!

I think it's a bit of both.
