Network computers not displaying in Win 10

I have a simple problem but, after hours of trying, cannot seem to solve it: I have two almost identical laptops running the same (latest) Win 10 on my home network.  I also have two NAS devices on the network.  In File Explorer under Network all 4 devices are displayed on one PC, but the other only shows itself. 

 

How do I get the other network computers to show on the second PC?  I have checked and all of the settings under Network and Sharing Center/Advanced sharing settings are identical on the two laptops.

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi GeoffD33 

    Please confirm that the the network discovery option is enabled on all computers.
    It might be a configuration issue with firewall’s permission, check the below services are allowed for private and public network.
