Found this on the WD site here: My Book Live & My Book Live Duo: Not Detected on Windows 10 and 11
So maybe Microsoft is the problem… surprising? Never mind, it doesn’t fix the problem.
Windows 10 is not a supported and verified operating system for My Book Live and My Book Live Duo.
For a list of compatible operating systems, please refer to Answer ID 19060 Supported Operating Systems for My Book Live and Duo
The “Network Browse” function has been disabled on Windows 10 v1709 and higher.
SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support has been disabled on Windows 10 Windows 10 Fall Creators Update version 1709 and higher.
The Computer Browser service relies on the SMB 1.0 protocol to populate the Windows Explorer Network node (also known as “Network Neighborhood”). This legacy protocol is long deprecated, doesn’t route, and has limited security. Because the service cannot function without SMB 1.0, it is removed when SMB 1.0 is disabled.
Important: The change is not limited to WD Products.
