I could tweak the PDC SAMBA installation to establish one. Until now, network discovery has worked just fine without it. For one thing, there is no specifically-designated 'master browser' in the domain, and there never has been. There may be additional tweaks that I can make to that system to improve the situation. I don't think there's anything wrong with my PDC. Yes, there are other ways to do this, but they aren't nearly as fast or as easy.

They don't have over 100 machines on which they need to frequently drop updated software files. I've talked to a lot of people about it apparently not many people really care about specifically being able to open a window, double-click a machine in the Network list, and do something to a share on that machine. It appears that MS has abandoned any effort to preserve backwards compatibility for this feature.

There are several situations in which various MS updates have partially broken the features necessary to enable network discovery on the workstation side, beginning in Windows 7 and continuing in 8, 8.1, and 10. Since my original post I have continued to research the issue. Nonetheless, network discovery has worked reliably under that configuration until very recently. We use SAMBA 3 NT-style domain emulation on a PDC running linux. I probably should have added that we do not use an Active Directory domain, or a 'genuine Windows' domain of any kind. Has anyone else seen this? Any insights at all on the relationship of Avast to functioning of Explorer.exe and network discovery services? I hypothesize that sometimes Endpoint Protection prevents this service from starting when it is needed. I am thinking that maybe starting the 'Network' applet or clicking the Network node in the Windows Explorer tree starts the service. Although I haven't been able to find official information on what causes this service to start, it is found to be running without my intervention on some of the machines that do show up on the network.

The standard setting for this service is manual start up. Although some machines will show up on the network without this service running, if a machine is not showing up, turning the service on will cause it to appear in the list. There is a service called Function Discovery Provider Host on Win 7 boxes. So I am wondering if Avast also interferes with network discovery processes. I am getting increasing reports of this problem happening.

This seems to be an issue with Avast's on-boot update process.

Sometimes the desktop won't fill in until the computer is rebooted. The most typical one is that a computer running Endpoint Protection will display an empty desktop (no icons) on bootup for up to ten or 15 minutes or longer. I'm looking for information on what is causing the problem.Д®ndpoint Protection has known issues with interfering with orderly Windows startup processes.

I know how to fix it.Д«ut this didn't used to happen, so something has changed to cause it to happen. I'm NOT looking for information on how to fix it. I have read the standard 'how to fix it' articles. About half the machines on the network no longer show up in the 'Network' applet in Windows Explorer on Windows 7. This is just a long shot, but in recent days Network Discovery has gone haywire on my network. Avast Endpoint Protection, with SOA 1.3.3.35.
