I just built a new machine with Windows 10 Pro and Sql Server Express 2014 (12.1.4100) - installation had no errors.
Everything works fine except: ssms will not browse for network servers. When I click the network servers tab NO network servers are found. There are 2 other servers on the network - both running Sql Server Express 2012 (11.0.5343).
From either of the 2 other servers, ssms will browse & find the new machine plus the other server.
Win10 machine configuration: TCP/IP, Named Pipes, & Shared Memory are all enabled. Sql Server Browser service is running. Firewall is disabled for both private & public networks.
From the Win10 machine, ssms will connect to both of the other servers using either: IP\SqlExpress or MachineName\SqlExpress.
Another clue: I have several c# applications that use SMO.EnumAvailableServers. When these apps are run on the Win10 machine, NO servers are found. When these apps are run on the other 2 servers, all the network servers are found.
Any help will be much appreciated - Joe
