Windows 10 X64 Home can't see server shares by name when user first tries for the day.
I have a client in a non-domain Windows server environment. Every morning, one of the workstations, running Windows 10 Home Edition X64, patched to 1803, can't see the shares on either of the two servers. The persistent share connection returns a "Cannot access \\server\share". I can get to the shares if I put in the IP address but not by name. I can browse the internet with no problem. Once I ping the servers IP, I can then get to the server shares by name. We have verified that the ethernet card has the "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is disabled.
Any thoughts on what else may cause this?
Thanks

I am planning this anyway so will push the schedule up. Thanks for the advice!
Upgrading to Windows Pro was what I suggested in the first post here.
Hello Dean, Thanks for following up. I do appreciate you doing this.
make sure you have NETBIOS over TCP/IP enable for the network adapter in use, also make sure IPv6 is in use. you may simply run Home Group troubleshooting wizard to fix the issue.
