Wsdd is a service by christgau on GitHub, which implements a Web Service Discovery host daemon for Ubuntu. But for now, we have to manually install a patch ourselves. So it may happen that this feature gets integrated into Samba at some time in the future. This issue has been raised in the Samba bug tracker since 2015.
With the addition of a WSD service in Ubuntu, Windows 10 will discover the Linux Samba server using its native WSD protocol. It serves as a replacement for older Windows networking functions such as NetBIOS. Web Services for Devices (WSD) is a Microsoft API to enable programming connections to web service enabled devices, such as printers, scanners and file shares.

The reason Windows 10 cannot discover Ubuntu network shares is because although it can use mDNS it does not know how to scan the network for them automatically. All other Linux machines as well as macOS can discover this registration automatically. Ubuntu 18.04/20.04 automatically register your samba server to the rest of the network using mDNS (Avahi). While there is no connectivity problem and Samba will still run fine, users might want to have their Samba hosts to be listed by Windows automatically. This causes hosts running Samba not to be listed in the Explorer’s “Network (Neighborhood)” views. Depending on the actual edition, later versions of Windows starting from version 1709 (“Fall Creators Update”) do not allow the installation of the SMBv1 client anymore. With Windows 10 version 1511, support for SMBv1 and thus NetBIOS device discovery was disabled by default. “Hi folks, Ned here again and today’s topic is short and sweet: Stop using SMB1. While this may work on older editions of Windows 10, it is not advised due to the security implications. Several guides and YouTube videos I’ve researched suggest manually enabling SMB 1.0 in Windows 10 in order to make other Ubuntu machines visible in Windows File Explorer.

Also make sure you have at least one folder shared in Ubuntu.
