What happens if you run CMD on the windows system and enter
net use * /delete

Use the real IP address and admin password of course, and be careful with the spaces and slash directions.
The first command terminates any open SMB sessions, the second attempts to map the NAS data volume as drive letter T.

Thanks, but already tried all the steps listed in this thread:
C:\>net use * /delete
There are no entries in the list.
C:\>net use t: \\192.168.1.13\C /user:admin --pw--
System error 64 has occurred.
The specified network name is no longer available.

Did you check that SMB is still enabled on the NAS?
What version of Windows 10 are you running? It's possible that the SMBv1 client was disabled on the windows system.

Thanks for updates! that is it! SMB1 is disabled. You get a million points!!
Also found that switching to NFS might be more secure

SMB1 is being deprecated by Microsoft - we haven't heard yet what Netgear will do about that on legacy NAS. Hopefully they'll be able to enable SMB2 on them.
