I eventually got around the problem by creating a network location:

- Open File Explorer and right click on 'This PC'
- Select Add a Network location and follow the wizard (You may need to type the address)

These links have always worked for me.

I lost my other three computers after the recent cumulative update! I got two back after various restart attempts but the third remained missing. The "Add a Network Location" trick worked once I had identified the correct way of specifying the folder name etc I was looking for. Then the missing one's data popped up and reappeared in File Explorer.

All I can say is that the little routine worked for me. All it does is automate the steps in Scott Orgin's explanation. You can try to duplicate the individual steps using the CMD prompt (run as administrator to be sure).
"net view /domain" gives a list of the workgroups on your network
"net view /domain:WORKGROUP" for each workgroup (substituting WORKGROUP with the name of the workgroup you are interested in). This eventually comes back with a list of devices in the workgroup in the format \\DEVICENAME.
Then for each device: "nbtstat -a DEVICENAME". This gives you a table of information for the device.
One or more of the devices in a workgroup should show a property in the format __MSBROWSE__. This is a Master browser. If you have more than one in a workgroup, you have found your problem...

If you need more help, you could try looking through the comments on Scott's website - you'll see others had problems. Otherwise, you could try this site:
