There has been an issue with Windows10 and Linux Samba for a while now, and it looks to have finally struck you on this update. I've had it on some of my computers for a while. It's associated with device naming in some way, but not in any way I've been able to determine nor have found anyone who has. It affects systems other than ReadyNAS, but not all equally. The work-arounds are to use the IP address instead of the name and/or add the name and IP to the HOSTS file. This, of course, requires that the NAS have a fixed IP address. But that's always a good idea, and is best implemented by reserving an address in your router rather than using a static IP via the NAS settings.
