Scenario
When you open File Explorer on a Windows computer and browse to Network, your QNAP NAS icon may not appear, even though the NAS is powered on and connected to the same network.
Root Cause
This issue is usually related to network discovery settings on either the Windows computer or the NAS, rather than a hardware problem. Common causes include:
- Network Discovery is turned off in Windows.
- The NAS's discovery services are disabled in QTS or QuTS hero.
- A firewall on the Windows computer or the NAS is blocking discovery traffic.
- Recent Windows updates have changed how automatic device discovery works, so devices that appeared before may no longer show up without adjusting these settings.
Solution
Step 1: Enable Network Discovery in Windows
- Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Advanced sharing settings.
- Under the current network profile, turn on Network discovery and File and printer sharing.
- Confirm that your Windows network connection is set to Private, not Public. Public profiles disable discovery by default.
Step 2: Enable Discovery Service on the NAS
- Log in to QTS or QuTS hero and go to Control Panel > Network & File Services > Service Discovery.
- On the Bonjour tab, enable the Bonjour service.
Step 3: Update Windows and Restart
Install any pending Windows updates, then restart your computer. This ensures your network stack is running the latest discovery-related fixes from Microsoft.
Tip
If the icon still doesn't appear after these steps, you can still access the NAS directly:
- Open File Explorer and enter
\\NAS_IP_address or \\NAS_name in the address bar. - Use Qfinder Pro to locate and connect to the NAS on your network.

场景
当您在 Windows 计算机上打开文件资源管理器并浏览到网络时,即使 NAS 已开机并连接到同一网络,您的 QNAP NAS 图标可能不会出现。
根本原因
此问题通常与 Windows 计算机或 NAS 上的网络发现设置有关,而不是硬件问题。常见原因包括:
- Windows 中的网络发现已关闭。
- NAS 的发现服务在 QTS 或 QuTS hero 中被禁用。
- Windows 计算机或 NAS 上的防火墙阻止了发现流量。
- 较近的 Windows 更新更改了自动设备发现的工作方式,因此以前出现的设备可能不再显示,除非调整这些设置。
解决方案
步骤 1:在 Windows 中启用网络发现
- 前往控制台 > 网络和共享中心 > 优异共享设置。
- 在当前网络配置文件下,打开网络发现和文件和打印机共享。
- 确认您的 Windows 网络连接设置为专用,而不是公共。公共配置文件默认禁用发现。
步骤 2:在 NAS 上启用发现服务
- 登录 QTS 或 QuTS hero,然后前往控制台 > 网络和文件服务 > 服务发现。
- 在Bonjour选项卡上,启用 Bonjour 服务。
步骤 3:更新 Windows 并重启
安装任何待处理的 Windows 更新,然后重启计算机。这确保您的网络堆栈运行微软全新的发现相关修复。
提示
如果经过这些步骤后图标仍未出现,您仍然可以直接访问 NAS:
- 打开文件资源管理器并在地址栏中输入
\\NAS_IP_address或\\NAS_name。 - 使用Qfinder Pro定位并连接到网络上的 NAS。
