XR500 Readyshare W11 Home
Works perfectly on 2 W10 Pro laptops. Not so on 1 W11 Home, Sorry to say I don't remember if it ever worked on W11 machine or not. Years ago .. b4 W11, Gearhead gave me some instructions which ha...
First of all, it (W10 Pro) is working perfectly!!!!!!!!! I can't be sure exactly what was wrong or what fixed it. I did a sfc and Dism routine and it would not complete. Rebooted machine. Did an elevated Disk Cleanup. It would not complete. Did a CCLEANER PRO routine which completed. Rebooted machine. Dism/sfc again. They completed. Disk Cleanup again and it completed. Rebooted machine and it came up just right. Problem solved. Now have mapped M: and N: readyshare drives in Explorer. Backing that up now then on to W11 Pro. I expect it to work. Will see soon. 😀
Of course thank you Sir .... for everything. Will come back to mark SOLVED once I see W11 Pro on that machine.
Only other thing I didn't put in that PDF was enablement of SMBv1 Client which is enabled as well:
Ya, i've kept SMB v1 Client enabled on my PC for years. Haven't seen any issues with it to date.

Just wanted to be sure. Thank you for the details on your troubleshooting.
Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡no problem backing up xr500 cfg. I have maintained one for years and will create a new one to be sure. Can't be too sure but I think Disk Cleanup and CCleaner had a lot to do with (suddenly) fixing the problem. All is well that ends well, and thank you so much for everythng.
