I have 3 windows 10 pc's on a network. 2 pc's can see all 3 on network but 1 pc cant see 1 of the pc's on the network. this happens 1 every month or 2. All 3 pc's are connected via ethernet and all 3 are set to private network and all 3 are in the same workgroup. the pc that cant see the other pc can ping the ip of the missing pc in the list. why does it keep dropping it from the list????

Do all three have file and print sharing turned on?
Take a baseball bat and trash all the routers, shout out "IT'S A NETWORK PROBLEM NOW, SUCKERS!" and then peel out of the parking lot in your Ferrari.

After checking file/print sharing, compare the firewall rules between working and non-working.

CURSE YOU WINDOWS FIREWALL, SOURCE OF MANY OF MANKIND'S ILLS!!!

Er, yes, you'll want to check Windows Firewall rules, as they can vary from PC to PC if not centrally managed.
