I have a 2 Windows 10 Pro workstations with 4 Windows 7 Pro workstations and a Windows 2016 Essentials AD Server "Setup as an AD Server". All of the Windows 7 Pro servers joined the domain and can see the server fine and map drives with no issues. I joined the domain fine with the Windows 10 Pro workstation, and I can ping the server, but I can not see any computers in the network at all, and can not map a drive. Please help

Make sure you have network discovery turned on
1) go to control panel -> network and internet -> Network and sharing center
2) select advanced sharing settings
3) select Domain dropdown and validate network discover + file / print sharing

2 can you disable ipv6 temporarily on window 10 then check the result?

Yes. I have been able to get the Windows 10 Pro workstations to connect. How ever, one was able to still use the same login "pin code". And the other had to use the server account l/p to login. Very strange on why this happened. Ideas? How ever the Windows 7 pro work stations stopped seeing the server so I reran the connector and it had different out comes on two of the workstations. One worked fine and when I rebooted I was able to use the same local pw as before and desktop was intact with all icons and shortcuts in Google chrome. On the other it was the opposite I had to use the server login/pw and the desktop was blank and I could no longer get back to the old desktop. I had to work and copy over files and shortcuts to the new profile. I could not get the Google chrome short cuts and links on the bar so had to do some rework/updates. Also the antivirus icon in the tray was not there either. very weird. Ideas?
