    There will be a solution when MS fixes the basic problem. An MS guy called Adam says that will happen in March for the standard release!

    What problems are you seeing?

    Thanks. But will this update be available through a normal update?
    Or do I have to clean install Windows on all the PCs in my office? It will be a lot of work.

    I suspect the feature will be added to a normal update as happened in the Insider builds.

    But MS don't tell us anything about these things!

    I wonder what they do in large companies with our 100 computers.
    Do they have to clean install each one of them? :/

    I find a way...

    Apparently the problem come from build 1511 because it use samba 3, so you have to disabled like that :

    Command prompt / administrator and type two lines together like that :

    sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
    sc.exe config mrxsmb20 start= disabled

    clic on enter

    This run for me, I can see all my mapped PC now, windows XP, windows 10 and thresold


    more infos : Synology Forum View topic - Windows 10 Version 1511 and SMB3
    This totally works, but how do you undo it after MS fixes the issue with Samba 3?

    And in epic LMGTFY fashion I found it here:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2696547

    The commands to turn SMB 3 back on are:

    Code:
    sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/mrxsmb20/nsi
    sc.exe config mrxsmb20 start= auto

    2 PC's
    W-10 Pro Insider Preview 1511 (11102)
    W-10 Version 1511 (10586)
    Neither could see each other.

    Ran the Samba removal and now good both ways.
    Why do I need Samba anyway?
    Pete

    net view was the clue. OK, both PC's on the Pro, Error 1243 (or whatever), on the Home.
    After the Samba fix, both can see each other.

    The reason Samba is important is that Linux uses Samba. Many networks will have Linux based NAS boxes so they don't get seen with SMB 2&3 suppressed. Even my networked Brother printer is Linux based.

    I am having this problem too but at about a 95% failure rate. No fixes have been attempted. However, even though nothing shows in explorer i don't have any problems running network backups to my main tower, quasi server. After which network members remain unseen.

    Yes, you can still access shares but the discovery mechanism is the problem.

    I am hoping that the next update to 1511 build will fix it and it is supposed to be coming soon. At least we know that MS has been able to fix it for the Insider builds.

    Fingers crossed, then!

    I spoke to soon. Went back to previous mode. Can see only the individual PC.
    I have build 11102 but that doesn't do anything.
    I notice that this problem is NOT addressed in any of the releases.
    Has there been any indications that Microsoft is aware and will fix?
