Cannot access ReadyNAS shares after Win10 Fall Creators Update installed
Hi, I installed Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (1709) on a client's PC a few days ago and now they cannot access the shares on their ReadyNAS 102. Windows keeps asking for Network Credential...
Thanks for all you help everyone, I have resolved the problem. I realised user had not setup a Windows password, once I created a password and rebooted I could again access all shares on the NAS.
I have verified that going to \\readynas (to get a list of available shares) will fail. However, if you manually map a drive to one of the shares (ie. \\readynas\share1) with a valid credential, you can then browse all other shares.
Is there a way then to configure ReadyNAS to prompt for authentication when accessing \\readynas, after which you can then see what shares are available to you?

I don't want to create a local Group Policy for each computer at my home (and any guest who comes to visit me) to access the NAS shares. I'm hoping that Netgear will provide instructions on how to force authentication as per Microsoft's recommendation.
I found the answer I was looking for at this thread: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/RN314-OS-6-8-1-Win10-Pro-64-bit-Fall-Creator-1709-Can-t-access/m-p/1415736#M138484
