i Fixed My Missing Network Computer, from this link:

How I Fixed My Missing Network & Homegroup Computers (tenforums.com)



My one laptop in the network is windows 10 now (since 2 days), and that caused the issue: one windows 7 pc disappeared from the network. On that PC i applied the steps from the first post in that link.

Note: later i noticed that "Allow Remote Assistance connections t this computer" (in System Properties > tab Remote) had been checked ON, which i always have been making sure to UNCHECK. Besides, on the auto-updated Windows 10 desktop, the same setting was checked ON as well. I unchecked it on both computers.
