Windows 10: Windows explorer will only show me some of the folders on networked drive after update 24h2

I've got a strange one I cannot understand. I have a NAS mapped as a network drive. With the new 24h2 update I can only view a maximum of 1018 items in the parent directory in explorer, the previous 23h2 update did not give me this problem. On a windows 10 machine it shows the full directory and all the items a few thousand folders. I experimented by creating a bunch of new folders using the Windows 11 file explorer and it will create them and the item number does increase, but if I refresh the parent folder it immediately decreases the amount of items to 1018 items and the folders I created

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Win 10 Explorer not showing Network drives

Win Explorer shows my network as < empty > on one of my PC's

A little background info. I have 2 PC's and 2 laptops connected on my home network, all running Win 10 and up until a few weeks ago, everything worked fine. Have not added any new software or changed any settings unless inadvertently. Basically, it was working in the morning and not working later in the day.

So now -
Recently, all three other machines can see my PC as a Network drive, and can access it. However, on my PC, the Network listing shows as empty.

I've reviewed the Network and Local Services settings of one laptop and my pc but could not find anything relating to networking that was different.

I then setup some Network Locations using the " \\Laptop\Users " setup. This gave me an Explorer entry under My Computer as Laptop but clicking on it showed only a Default and Default.migrated folders. The URL bar showed > Network > Laptop > Users






Just for fun, I clicked on Laptop in the URL bar and lo and behold I had access to all the Laptop folders, which could now be navigated, AND, in the left hand pane, the highlight dropped from Laptop to Network. However, clicking now on Network said < this folder is empty >









So, I have a feeling that my network and sharing settings are fine, it's Explorer 11 that's acting strange.


Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
