3rd party AV / Firewall interference – As it turns out, this particular issue can appear due to an overprotective security solution that is interfering between the Server Message Block and the other network devices. To fix the issue in this case, you will need to uninstall your current 3rd party firewall or at least disable the real-time protection.
Function Discovery service is Disabled – If none of your network-connected devices show up inside the services screen, it’s probably because of the Function Discovery Provider Host service is disabled. To fix the issue in this case, all you need to do is open the Services screen and enable the service + the one associated with it (Function Discovery Resource Publication).
Computer Browser service is Disabled – If no ‘net view’ commands are being processed by CMD, it’s probably because the Computer Browser service is disabled. This was part of the SMBv1 the was deprecated on the latest versions of Windows 10. To use it, you will need to enable SMBv1 via the Windows Features menu and then enabled the Computer Browser service via the Services menu.
This error can occur due to several reasons including your antivirus and firewall configuration blocking the connection from connecting to the servers.
