Because the PROBLEM of not seeing all network machines in Windows 10 can occur for several reasons, I'll go over all of the possible SOLUTIONS in this context.

Method 1: Configure the most recent version of Windows 10.

In Windows 10 versions 1709, 1803 & 1809, the issue "Network does not show machines" occurs. The issue has been resolved in the most recent Windows 10 versions. So, before trying the procedures below, upgrade your system to the most recent version of Windows 10 (1909).

Method 2: Using the IP Address to directly access the shares.

The next step is to type "\\" and the static IP address of the computer hosting the shared folder in the explorer's address bar to resolve the issue(s). After you've accessed the shares, right-click on the shared folder and select MAP a Network Drive to make it easier to access the folders at any time.

Method 3: Make the necessary changes to the Network Discovery settings.

Modifying the network discovery settings and the "Function Discovery" services as below is the next step in viewing the other machines in your network:

• STEP 1: ENABLE NETWORK DISCOVERY.
• STEP 2: AUTOMATICALLY RUN THE REQUIRED SERVICES.
• Set the 'Startup type' of the following four services in the Windows Services panel as follows:

Function Discovery Provider Host (fdPHost) -> Automatic
Function Discovery Resource Publication (FDResPub) -> Automatic Delayed Start
SSDP Discovery > Manual -> Manual
UPnP Device Host > Manual -> Manual

Method 4: Restart the Service of Function Discovery Resource Publication (FDResPub).

• Restarting the FDResPub service is another way to fix the "Windows 10 not seeing network computers" problem. To do so, right-click on the Function Discovery Resource Publication service and select Restart from the menu that appears.

Method 5: Remove the Function Discovery Resource Publication service's trigger.

• Type the following COMMAND in Command Prompt as Administrator: sc triggerinfo FDResPub delete
• Check to see whether you can see the network computers after restarting your computer.

Note: Type the following command to restore the removed trigger: sc triggerinfo FDResPub start/strcustom/fbcfac3f-8460-419f-8e48-1f0b49cdb85e/PROFILE_CHANGED_TO_PRIVATE

Method 6: Enable support for SMB 1.0/CIFS file sharing.

• If you still can't find the other computers on your network after using the aforementioned techniques, go ahead and enable the 'SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support' function.

Note: Because SMB v1 isn't secure, Microsoft suggests mapping network drives rather than enabling it.

Method 7: In Windows 10 Pro, enable Remote Desktop.

This method is only applicable to Windows 10 Professional Editions.

• In Windows Explorer, right-click on the This PC icon and choose Properties.
• On the LEFT, select Remote Settings.

Note: In the most recent Windows 10 versions, select Remote Desktop from the left pane and then turn on the Remote Desktop switch on the right. Finally, press the Confirm button.

• Choose Allow remote connections to this computer on the Remote tab, then Apply & OK.
• Restart your computer.

An ISSUE with internet access can occur for a variety of reasons. It COULD be due to a temporary issue with your service provider or a firewall-related issue with your machine. We need to figure out what's causing this issue before we can REPAIR it.

TURN OFF YOUR FIREWALL TEMPORARILY AND INSPECT THE CONNECTION.

• Open the Norton Device Security app on your computer.
• If you get the My Norton window, click Open next to Device Security.
• Select Settings options.
• Click Firewall in the Settings window.
• Click the slider next to Smart Firewall on the General Settings page to turn it off.
• Click Apply, then Permanently from the drop-down selection in the Protection Alert dialogue box.
• Click the OK button.
• Access the internet to see if you can connect to the Internet.
• Turn on Smart Firewall after repeating steps 1–4.
• Before proceeding, make certain that Smart Firewall is turned on.

Select one of the following options based on whether you can access the websites after turning off the firewall:

• Only after I disable the firewall can I visit the websites. If you can access the Internet after disabling the firewall, the firewall rules must be reset.
  • Activate Norton.
  • If you get the My Norton window, click Open next to Device Security.
  • Select Settings from the drop-down menu.
  • Click Firewall in the Settings window.
  • Click Reset next to Firewall Reset on the General Settings tab.
  • Click Yes in the CONFIRMATION window.
  • After that, click Apply and then Close.
• Even after disabling the firewall, I am unable to visit the Norton website. Uninstall and reinstall your Norton software if you STILL can't access the Internet after disabling the firewall.

After you've figured out your previous issues and rectified them, your computer should start up normally. It is possible, though, that your computer will become locked in Safe Mode. If your computer keeps rebooting in this manner and you want to exit Safe Mode, you'll need to make adjustments to get it back to normal.

To begin, double-check the SYSTEM Configuration tool. You can also perform the following actions:

• OPEN the Command Prompt by pressing Windows + R.
• To open the menu, type "msconfig" and press Enter.
• Select the "Boot" tab from the drop-down menu.

• If the "Safe boot" box is checked, uncheck it.
• Turn on your PC.

If the box isn't checked, you'll have to go back to the original menu. Though you're using Windows 7 or earlier, hit the F8 key as if you're attempting to enter Safe Mode. Once the Advanced Boot Options menu appears, select the "Start Windows Normally" option with your arrow keys.

In Windows 8 and 10, go to the Shutdown option  and do the aforementioned:

• While CLICKING "Restart," hold down the Shift key and select the TROUBLESHOOT page.
• Select Advanced Options and AFTERWARDS Startup Settings from the drop-down menu.
• Start your computer again.

Although Windows will not start normally, it will display the Startup Settings page, where you can select the "back to your operating system" option. From there, your operating system will load normally.

Here are some of the most effective ALTERNATIVES for you to consider:

• Restart: A simple reboot will sometimes fix an unrecognised USB device. Restart your computer after plugging out your USB device and waiting a few minutes. Connect your USB device once more.
• Attempt to use a different computer: Attempt to connect your USB device to a different device. If it doesn't function on the second PC, maybe your gadget is to blame. Perhaps you'll need to have it repaired or purchase a new one.
• Remove any other USB devices: Too many USB devices within the same machine may cause a conflict, causing certain devices to cease working. You should disconnect all other USB devices and test the device you wish to use.
• Change the USB Root Hub's Power Management option.
  • Press the Windows symbol key and R simultaneously on your keyboard. Press Enter after typing devmgmt.msc.
  • Expand Universal SERIAL Bus controllers by clicking the down arrow. Right-click the USB Root Hub and CHOOSE Properties from the drop-down menu.
  • Uncheck the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save the power box on the Power Management tab. Click the OK button.

If you have multiple USB Root Hubs, you will need to repeat this procedure. After each performance, keep in mind to click OK. After you've made your changes, plug your USB device back in to test if your computer RECOGNISES it. If your USB device still doesn’t switch on after that, click the Allow the computer to turn off this device to preserve the power box.

• The USB port driver should be updated: If the preceding approaches fail to resolve your issue, you're probably using the incorrect USB driver. You can upgrade your USB port driver in one of two ways: manually or automatically.
  • Manual driver update – One can manually update your USB port driver by visiting your PC's manufacturer's website and searching for the most up-to-date correct driver. Make sure you select the only driver that works with your Windows version.
  • Automatic driver update - If you don't have the time, patience, or computer skills to manually update your drivers, Driver Easy can do it for you. Driver Easy will automatically detect your system and locate the APPROPRIATE drivers. You don't have to know what operating system your computer uses, you don't have to worry about downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don't have to bother about making a mistake when installing:
    • Get Driver Easy and install it.
    • Launch Driver Easy and select Scan Now. After that, Driver Easy will check your computer for any problematic drivers.
    • To automatically download and install the proper version of any flagged drivers, click the Update button next to that driver, or click Update All to instantly download and install the proper version of all missing or out-of-date drivers on your system.
• Make a power supply adjustment.
  • Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options is the approach to take.
  • Click on Choose what the power button does.
  • Change any settings that are presently unavailable by clicking Change.
  • Uncheck the box for Turn on fast startup and then click Save changes.
  • Restart your device and connect to the USB device to test whether it works.

If your USB device still doesn't work after this adjustment, return to the previous configuration and proceed to the next step.

• Modify the USB selective suspend settings as necessary.
  • Select Power Options from the Control Panel.
  • Change the plan's settings by clicking Change plan settings.
  • Click Advanced power parameters can be changed.
  • USB settings and USB selective suspend settings should be expanded.
  • Both the On battery and Plugged settings should be disabled.]
  • Apply and then OK.

The following are the list of methods to fix this issue:

• Drivers must be installed again: By heading to Start, Control Panel, System and Security, System, and then Device Manager, you can REPLACE the drivers for the CD/DVD drive. Expand CD/DVD-ROM Drives, now right-click the device and select Uninstall from the drop-down menu. When you restart your computer, Windows should recognise the disc and reinstall the drivers automatically. If your hardware does not appear in Device Manager, you may have a hardware issue, such as a defective CONNECTION or a dead hard drive. If your computer is old, this is a good alternative to consider.
• Examine the BIOS settings: If you were recently in the BIOS, double-check that the drive wasn't accidentally disabled. This is extremely uncommon, although it can happen in rare circumstances. This is particularly true if you entrusted your computer to others for repairs or other services. Make sure the CD/DVD ROM drive is at least listed as an option on the Boot options page.
• Upper/ LOWER Filters Problem: If your Windows XP or Windows Vista system is unable to identify the CD/DVD drive, you may be experiencing a common issue that will not appear on any computer that has received the most recent Windows updates. To fix the problem with Windows XP and Vista, you must update two registry entries. You have the option of downloading the repair from Microsoft or doing it manually. You have to delete the upper filters and the lower filters and restart your device.

• Run the Troubleshooter for Hardware and Devices: If you're having trouble with Windows 7, try running the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter. This will instantly diagnose the issue and attempt to fix it. This will most likely only work if the CD/DVD drive is visible in the BIOS and Device Manager, but not elsewhere in Windows. You have a hardware or connection issue if you don't see it in those two areas. By heading to Start, Control Panel, and then typing troubleshooter into the search box, you can start the troubleshooter. Select TROUBLESHOOTING from the drop-down menu. Finally, click Configure a device under Hardware and Sound. When you click Next, Windows will automatically detect and attempt to resolve any issues.
• Registry edit: If none of the above methods works, you might attempt editing a registry key that has been removed or corrupted.
• Drive letter: You should also double-check that the drive does have a drive letter assigned to this and that the letter hasn't already been occupied by another device. To see whether the drive letter is leading the drive to show up now, read my earlier post on how to alter drive letters in Windows.
• System Restore: If you're still having problems and your drive was showing up before but is now missing, you can try doing a system restore to a time since it was working properly. A new SOFTWARE package can sometimes corrupt your system, causing it to stop recognising your CD/DVD drive.

This error is known to happen in the event of the following factors:

The Windows registry has been corrupted: The Windows registry can be corrupted for a variety of causes, including virus attacks, power outages, disc write problems, and human errors while manually changing the registry.

Fixing “\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM is missing or corrupt” on Windows:

Method 1: Restore corrupted registry with Easy Recovery Essentials

The built-in Automated Repair feature in Easy Recovery Essentials can naturally fix a variety of issues like these. EasyRE is currently compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8, and can be downloaded and obtained on any computer system.

• Burn the bootable ISO image with extreme caution, as creating a bootable CD might be challenging! You can also generate a bootable EasyRE recovery USB stick or disc.
• Boot up your device with the Easy Recovery Essentials CD or USB previously made.
• When EasyRE is up and running, select "Automated Repair" and click Continue.
• After EasyRE has completed scanning your computer's discs, go to the list and choose the drive letter for your existing Windows installation, then click the Automated Repair option to begin the repair procedure.
• Easy Recovery Essentials will start scanning the selected drive for errors. EasyRE will automatically search the disc, partitions, bootsector, filesystem, bootloader, and registry for errors and TRY to fix them. Because
• EasyRE's repair is automated, no human intervention is required.
• After the process is FINISHED, EasyRE will report its findings. Select the Restart option to reboot your computer and test the modifications.
• As your computer begins to load, the error "WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGSYSTEM is missing or corrupt" must be rectified.

Method 2: Reboot your device into “Last Known Good Configuration”

When a machine is restarted into the "Last Known Good Configuration" state, it uses a VERSION of the Windows registry that was saved from the last time it booted correctly. All registry-related boot issues should be resolved if the last registry backup is accessible and in good form.

The following are the processes for returning a PC to its previous state:

• Start the computer again.
• Before proceeding, wait for the BIOS to complete POST (the screen with the manufacturer's logo and/or system details).
• Continue pressing F8 until you see a range of boot options.
• From the drop-down box, choose "Last Known Good Configuration (Advanced)."
• After pressing Enter, wait for the machine to boot up.

Method 3: Check the disk file system with the CHKDSK utility

Because a malfunctioning registry is typically the origin of the problem, checking and repairing the Windows file system with CHKDSK could be a viable alternative.

Follow these instructions to run CHKDSK from the Windows XP Recovery Console:

• In the drive, insert the Windows XP installation CD.
• Restart the computer and choose the CD drive as the first boot option.
• Press any key to boot from the CD.
• To open Repair Console, click R once the Windows Options menu displays.
• Fill in the Administrator password.
• When the Command Prompt displays, TYPE the following command: chkdsk C: /r
• Press the Enter key.
• Unplug the CD and press the exit key.
• Press the Enter key.
• Restart your computer.

Method 4: Manually restore the registry

The defective registry can also be fixed by replacing it with a fresh copy created while Windows was being installed on the hard drive. This step will restore the system to a state that may differ significantly from its present state; nevertheless, user data will still be accessible. This technique should be avoided if the system has an OEM-installed operating system because the system registry hive upon OEM installations generates passwords and user accounts that did not EVEN exist previously.

To begin, create a backup of all existing registry files, which can be restored if anything goes wrong. The current registry is then deleted and replaced with a fresh one from the C:WindowsRepair folder. After the boot procedure is complete, you have the option of backing up all user data and reinstalling Windows from scratch or specifically restoring the system registry to a more current version supported by System Restore.

Apart from the obvious solutions such as adding more RAM, expanding hard disc space, and INSTALLING an SSD, the following are some other options for fixing a slow computer.

• Open task manager and look at which apps are CONSUMING the most CPU resources. If you can, turn off those programs or uninstall them if they're no longer useful.
• Uninstall any programs that you don't use or just use sometimes.
• Any app can store temporary files in the Temp folder. Apps should normally clean up after themselves by deleting any temporary files they produce. They MAY, however, fail to do so if they run into unforeseen setup issues or if your computer dies for some other reason while they are executing. Click on the "Windows" folder under My Computer. Delete all files in the "Temp" folder by opening it.
• Right-click on your hard drive in My Computer. Select the Tools to tab from the Properties menu. Select Defragment Now or Optimise from the menu.

If the ISSUE persists before logging in, try the instructions below:

• To access the project menu, hold down the Windows key and press P. It's natural, however, that you won't be able to see anything.
• Press Enter after pressing the up and down arrows several times.
• You should be able to see your screen if it works; if not, retry this step a few more times.
• If you're logging in with a password-protected account, press CTRL or space to INPUT the password and push enter. You may need to go through a couple of trials before you finish.

If the above method does not work, follow the steps below to uninstall the graphic card driver.

• Press alt+ctrl+del to open the Task Manager.
• Go to the file folder and then start a new task.
• Enter the command devmgmt.msc.
• Go to safe MODE if you can't open the task manager.
• Hold down the Windows key and also the X key, then select Device Manager.
• Locate the graphic card, right-click it, and select Delete/Disable Driver Software from the menu.

• The dark screen should disappear after RESTARTING your computer.

There are a few more steps you can take. In the device manager, you can turn off the onboard graphics. You can deactivate the dual monitor plus CPU Graphics Multi-Monitor in the BIOS. You could also try updating your BIOS or uninstalling the programs that are causing the issue. You could instead use HDMI rather than DVI to connect your display. NUMEROUS different procedures can assist you in resolving the blank screen problem.

FIRST, double-check that the PRINT driver's media and paper SELECTIONS are correct. Then, double-check that the paper you're printing on MATCHES the kind you CHOOSE in the print driver. If everything appears to be in order, try manually adjusting and setting the fuser. Adjusting the fuse should be done with caution because it gets hot.

Print a few blank sheets of paper to remove Smudge marks. If this does not cure the problem, maybe the issue is caused by the hardware or supplies.

This issue could be caused by EITHER of the FOLLOWING circumstances:

• The System Unit's HARD-disk cable is not connected to the Controller.
• The hard DISC drive has stopped working.
• There is no partitioning on the hard disc drive.

Yes, it is possible. However, before manually altering the BOOT.INI, make a BACKUP in case something goes WRONG. Go over to the control panel and from there to the System option to edit the file. In the properties window, select the ADVANCED tab.

There is a STARTUP and recovery option there; go to its Settings. To edit BOOT.INI, select the edit option. Remove the 3GB switch and replace it with a PAE switch on servers with more than 4GB of installed physical MEMORY for launching the file. The file should be saved and then closed. Quit the Control Panel by clicking OK twice.
