ReadySHARE Windows 10 + KB3189866
Windows 10 cumulative update KB3189866 breaks readyshare. :smileysurprised:
Uninstall it if you can't access your readyshare folder.
Problem solved.
The solution below absolutely worked for me!
The one thing to say is that when you create the Windows Credential - you must enter a user name and password, and...
1. I had to configure readyshare itself to allow read and write access to a username - i selected admin.
2. The windows credential required the router username "admin" and the password for admin. I tried my windows username and password, and i was able to connect to map the drive, but not open the contents of it. With admin and the password, i was able to get it to work!

It seems not to be clear yet if it is a MS thing or a Netgear thing, wright? What about the routers, is only the R7000 involved?
I'm using a R6250
I'm using McAfee Viruscan Enterprise 8.8 - DAT Sept 23 2016
Checked all network settings and all look good. Like I mentioned before the laptop and desktop are configured quite differently, the laptop has a lot of stuff on it, desktop hardly anything, more of a server really.Turn on Password protected sharing is on, though this hasn't changed and worked before the updates.
Agreed that there have been a lot of changes and issues since the Ani update. I got a response in the other thread saying this problem went away again on a newer fast track build, so perhaps it was accidentally broken and they are planning a fix. I have set up a script to map the drives, which for now solves my problem and updates are back on. I'll drop disabling next time we get a build update and see what happens.

Hmm, I do NOT have that on. I don't need it. It could be that WAS broke and fixed, that is with it on you were not being prompt or required to use the UID and PW to share a drive. Of course it might have been broken too as I recall that is supposed to only 'challenge' users trying to access your shared resource.
Might want to see if it work OK if you turn it off?
Might like to see this too --> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-networking/turn-off-password-protected-sharing-is-broken-in/6a6f2272-aee3-4315-9f40-f7ae5859d72c?auth=1
I do not know why it works for me? Home vs. Pro maybe? Home doesn't have GPEDIT.MSC so maybe there are other settings forced on the PRO version? Mystery to me? Wife has Pro version but no problems either???
pblagay, Searay found the ANSWER (https://community.netgear.com/t5/General-WiFi-Routers/Readyshare-is-not-accessible/m-p/1144090#M63186). I checked my Credentials and I have it set. Done on 7/2/2016 though? I just don't recall doing this?
