How to restore Windows 10 mapped drive and network discovery functionallity

I have a single workstation on my domain that I can not seem to solve what is going on and of course it belongs to the owners wife.  There are two main issues that I am experiencing.  

First I am only able to see our EHR server and a single DC/DNS server under "Network" on the problem Workstation.

Second I am unable to map any drives outside of the one I have mapped to the listed EHR server that  I am able to see.


I thought it could be a trust issue so  have removed then rejoined the workstation to the domain using both powershell and manually removing and rejoining the domain through computer properties, I also enabled SMB1.0 to see if that would help still no luck.  I tried using "net use" to map a drive but it returns error 64. If I try to map a drive by right clicking "this computer" I get "network name no longer exist" error.

This is the only workstation experiencing this issue.

Hi. Have you tried mapping the drive using the IP Address instead of the NetBIOS / DNS name?
If it works with the IP address, then it is probably a DNS issue.

Yes I tried using both.  I am able to resolve any names/IPs in nslookup from the workstation correctly.  I am able to ping the other servers and workstations in the domain but they do not show up in the network discovery window for some reason.
If I could solve the issue of not seeing any other workstations/servers on the domain I feel like the mapped drive issue would resolve itself.  AV is disabled, firewall is off, and I have  restablished the trust relationship of the workstation to the domain.  Not sure what I am missing at this point.
Ran it twice using the, "I am trying to connect to a specific folder option."  I entered \\server\share and \\172.x.x.x\share.  I receive the message "Troubleshooting couldn't identify the problem" when run.
I have run into an issue where some windows 10 updates reset settings in the "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings" panel.  Its trivial, but worth checking that those are what you expect.
