Thank you StephenB for your comment about checking access. I started doing as you suggested, and somewhere along the line noticed a comment about "Password Protected Sharing" being on, and how if I wanted to change that I had to use the "Network and Sharing Center."

I eventually got to the "All Networks" area and found the "Password Protected Sharing" area where, lo and behold, "Password Protected Sharing" was turned on. So I turned off "Password Protected Sharing" and guess what?--my backups now work!!

So in a nutshell, the Windows 10 update apparently turned on "Password Protected Sharing" and the only thing necessary to fix the issue is to turn it off.

Thanks to all.

Thanks for the suggestion. The SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support was enabled, so I turned it off (just to try something).

There are two facilities - the SMB1 client and the SMB1 server. The backup job might require the SMB1 server to be installed. If I have a chance I'll try this with one of my own win10 systems.
