Access issues after upgrade to Win10 V1803 (I think it's a Windows issue, not a NAS one).
OK. So in the last week, Microsoft has upgraded my three Windows machines (two desktops and a laptop) to V1803. After the upgrade, only one of the desktops is acting strangely. All three machines ...

We are using ESET ENDPOINT SECURITY on all systems, including our Windows 7 PCs (over 40 of those) and they can access to the NAS by UNC Hostname fine. All Windows10 and Windows 7 systems can access the NAS by IP address in Windows Explorer and the WebGUI. This seems to be related to SMB and or NFS settings that Windows10 will like.
No, this does proof the WS-Discovery (WSD) based name resolution does not work on your Eset Endpoint Security "protected" Windows 10 systems when attempting to access a shared folder on a device properly announced.
Windows 7 most likely works because you still use NetBIOS there - for ReadyNAS discovery and for the name resolution.
Have shown you several times where to check the discovery method in Windows Explorer - up to you.
And sorry, my trust to any of these Internet Security vendors is ways below zero - beyond of a "good feeling" KPI for the management having security measurements in place, the effective value is limited - and the risk that these security companies are breaking things are huge.
We uninstalled ESET on one of the Windows10 PCs and the problem persist--please explain. Also, we have a Windows 10PC that was an upgrade from Windows7 and is works fine--with ESET. Network discovery has always been ON. They are on a domain and can connect to shares on servers and other PCs-just not the NAS by name. If you do some research you'll see that this is a common problem with other manufacturers os NAS units (Synology for example).
