I had the same problem after upgrading from Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. I was able to resolve it as follow:

  1. Control Panel
  2. Administrative Tools
  3. Services
  4. The SQL Service Browser was Disabled
  5. Right click and select Properties
  6. Change the Startup type to Automatic (Delayed Start)
  7. Click to Start button to start the service
  8. And off you go. This should resolve the issue.
