Windows 10 April 2018 Update Breaks My Sync Folders

I recently installed the Windows 10 April 2018 update.  Ever since that update, my ReadyCloud sync folders are broken.  The ReadyCloud app used to automatically open at boot up, and sync to my Pictures, Documents, Music, and Videos folders on my PC.  It no longer does that.  I can open my ReadyNAS and browse around the folders, but the sync function is broken.  How do I re-establish my ReadyCloud sync with those folders?  I use my ReadyNAS to backup my PC folders onto the NAS, but now none of that backup syncing is occurring.

  • The folders all used to have green check marks next to them.  But now they are just blank blue folders.

      I don't see this issue after installing Windows 1803 update,have you updated ReadyOS recently?

        I updated to a beta version of the ReadyNAS OS.  6.9.4-T8 (Beta 1) allows me to sync NEW folders using PC backup, but my old linkages to sync are still broken.  So, my existing sync between my Pictures and Videos folders no longer sync.  But if I make a new sync, and call it Pictures 2 on the NAS but link it to my original Pictures folder, it works.  Bonus issue is that I cannot delete / destroy the older Pictures folder on my NAS.  Fun times!
