Why Can't My Domain Computers See Each Other in the Network Tab?

I've noticed that over the past week, computers on the domain aren't displaying any devices in the network tab of File Explorer. Normally, we'd see servers and other workstations listed there. I'm starting to suspect a Windows update might have caused this issue since I've already gone through what I could find online about network adapters, sharing settings, and services. We're using Server 2019 for our domain controllers and clients are on Windows 11 25H2. Has anyone else run into this problem?

First, check if the network is set to public or private in the network sharing settings. Make sure network discovery is enabled too. It could also be a DNS issue that's causing the visibility problem.

What exactly do you want to see in the network tab? Since this is a domain setup, it might be related to network and sharing settings or even firewall configurations. Itโ€™s crucial to ensure that everything is configured properly.

Have you checked the properties under Start โ†’ Settings โ†’ Network and Internet? It could give you some useful insight into whatโ€™s going on with the network settings.
