Have run thru many "suggestions" but have yet to find a solution to my Windows 10 Pro machine that doesn't advertise itself to the other PC's (Win 10 Home) on the network. Lanscope scan shows its Netbios Name, IP address and Workgroup (MSHOME) along with all the other PC's along with Synology NAS as Master Browser. What am I missing, or is this just querky MSFT networking issues?

    Have you checked to make sure NetBIOS is enabled?

    Start- run Control Panel.

    Click Network and sharing Center

    On the left side choose Change Adaptor Settings

    Right-click on your local connection and choose properties

    Locate TCP\IPv4 and choose the properties button

    Choose Advanced button.

    Choose Wins Tab.

    Select Enable NetBIOS over TCP\IP.
