I’ve seen this issue happen on Windows 11 after corrupted system UI components or recent updates. In many cases, restarting Windows Explorer from Task Manager fixes it temporarily.

If the problem started recently after an update or driver install, updating network drivers or removing the latest Windows update can sometimes resolve the blank network popup issue as well.
Seems microsoft released several updates/fixes yesterday and now when I click on the network icon on all three pc's the window opens, populates, I can see the other pc's and everything else attached to the network.
