Ok, Workgroup: 2 Windows 7 Ethernet connected PCs, Two Windows 7 wifi notebooks, one Windows 10 WiFi Notebook, One Windows 10 Wifi PC, Two Linux PC's (debian & Ubuntu) - TP Link TL WR941ND Router.

Notebook Windows 10 is 1511 TP Build 11082
Tried that on PC, but now PC is build 10586.36

Tried putting ALL PC's in same workgroup, now all are on same Only W10 PC is on different Workgroup.

Windows 7 PC's "see" ALL PC's on network browser
Windows 10 PC's When on WiFi "see" only ethernet connected Windows 7 PC's, if I plug in ethernet cable the Windows 10 PCs that are on ethernet "appear", NOT SO the W10 pc's that are on wifi. If I put ALL on ethernet, Windows 10 PC´s after some "coaxing" show up.

Explorer if searching for non visible PC on Windows 10 as "\\PCNAME\share" shows the PC in the tree pane of explorer but NOT in main

On some of the tests authentication started bugging, had to enter credentials as \\PCName\user - password, instead of user - password

Note: The app "MyLanViewer", on Windows 10 and 7, when scanning finds ALL PC's regardless of connection type and OS. Can Open non visible shares showing IP,

I tried disabling samba 2 and 3, all pcs shows up but cant connect to win 7 PC's
Tried about 10 other "magic" solutions I googled, no luck
It's easier getting linux networking up than windows 10

Some bug eh?

Ideas?
