I eventually found the problem was our Unifi AP. Not sure how it was
doing this, as we did not have it firewalled or anything beyond just
being an AP. It's possible that it was malfunctioning because of some
recent power outages.
When I started having other (non NBT) issues with other devices I
restarted the Unifi controller and the AP, and suddenly all the things
that had not been working started working.
I had been concentrating on my partner's Windows PC, but it was not that
at all. Problem was that it was the only device that we needed to have
NBT working inside our network. As it happens, it wasn't just NBT, but
anything intranet. Strangely, anything internet was working fine. I
don't get it, but I'm glad it's gone.

Change WiFi to Private and you should be good to go..

My partner's Windows 10 laptop has both an ethernet LAN adapter
and a WiFi adapter. Both adapters work just fine going to the
wild woolly internet. No problem.
However, when doing any NBT-type interactions, only the ethernet
LAN adapter allows her to browse local shares. The WiFi adapter
can't see any NetBIOS objects.
If you open the Windows Explorer, it's like a light switch. If
the ethernet LAN adapter has the cable installed, all the local
NetBIOS shares (PCs, printers, NAS devices) are visible. If you
unplug the ethernet cable, everything disappears. However, if you
want to access the interwebs, both adapters work as advertised.
I have no clue what would cause this.
