I'm getting positive results by checking the network share settings. 
Apparently windows updates changes the share settings. 
This is the only thing I can think of 
and the only thing that appears to be resolving this issue. 
SSDP Discovery needs to be a running service
also, google 'network discovery will not stay on' 
this yielded many results as well.
