After renaming my computer in Windows 10, I can't find it in Network Sharing

Before I renamed my computer, network sharing was working fine, and other devices could access it. After renaming it, the computer can no longer be found on the local network, and it remains undetectable even after I changed the name back to the original one. What could be causing this? How can I restore sharing?

    Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Status > Sharing options (or use Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change advanced sharing settings).
