In the ReadyNAS admin, I tried turning on System->Settings->SMB, but it auto-turns off the second I turn it on
This is your issue right here. If you cannot enable the SMB protocol then no file sharing will be possible to/from your Windows machine. Possibly this is a browser issue. Can you close the browser --> clear all browser cache and try to enable SMB again? Also, try with a different browser as well.
I tried it in Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Edge. Clear cache on all of them and re-tried. No luck. The SMB option keeps auto-turning off on its own.
I reset factory settings on the device and that worked. Now the drive shows in the Network.
The Home Folder for users added are inaccessible by anyone. Even the user they are created for.
The setting for Home Folder is set to SMB enabled. I don't see any other settings.
Any ideas?
Normally the home folders are created with the user connects to the NAS using SMB (file explorer). Of course that requires the user to connect with the proper credentials (NAS username and password). You might try doing this manually from the windows command line:
net use * /delete
net use t: \\nas-ip-address\username /user:username userpassword
