"Invalid Certificate Error" messages in Windows 10
I'm having problems with "Invalid Certificate Error" messages in Windows 10. I see the suggestion that I should not use the HTTPS protocol. I would like to turn that off, but I can't figure out how to do it.
My NAS is a ReadyNAS 4 Ultra with 4 2TB drives. I see in Frontview (4.2.27) under Services - Standard File Protocols that there is a setting for HTTPS. But it is checked and grayed out so that I am unable to just uncheck it to turn it off. Is there some other way to turn this feature off?

The first question here is whether you need https. If you are accessing the NAS over the internet, the answer is yes. Even with the self-signed certificate error, the connection is still encrypted.
It is true that you cannot disable https on the Pro (in my view that is a good thing, but opinions might vary).
What browser are you using? Edge?
FWIW, the simplest way to deal with the cert issue is to use FireFox.
I don't normally use a browser, just filemanager. I treat the NAS as much as possible like a local drive. Just //NASname/pathname/filename to reach any file I want. I have shorcuts to my most frequently used folders and a well-organized folder structure.
FWIW, my default browser is Chrome. I may go to Edge someday, but not until it supports add-ins.
My ReadyNAS model number is RNDU4000, it is a plain ReadyNAS 4 Ultra, not a PRO. Is there still no way to disable the HTTPS protocol?
