Unable to view/access XR1000 USB Storage in Windows Pro 11 File Explorer
Setting up a new Windows Pro 11 laptop. I want to use Windows File Explorer to view and access all folders/files within my WD External HD (connected to XR1000 through USB). Environment Details: ...
I'm back working on this issue! It appears, from all I've read, that it is a problem with a Microsoft update. I was able to finally follow the link provided by StephenB - and successfully mapped my WD hdd 1021 (through USB port on XR1000) and have access to all folders/files! Here are the steps I followed:
- Ran Powershell as administrator
Get-SMBClientConfiguration (to verify EnableInsecureGuestLogons was set as False and RequireSecuritySignature was set as True)
Ran the following
Set-SMBClientConfiguration -EnableInsecureGuestLogons $true
Set-SMBClientConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false
- Restarted computer
- Opened File Explorer and mapped to \\readyshare\USB_Storage
Thanks to everyone for your help and support!

Good to know.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
Enjoy. 📡
