Mapped drives not accessible after PC reboot (ReadyNAS RN102)
RN102 OS: 6.10.5
When I was mapping the network drives for the Shares on RN102 on a new Win 10 PC, Win 10 asked me to log in which is unusual because it did not ask for that on my old PC, given also the permission for the Shares is Anonymous. I logged in using my admin username/password, the drives were successfully mapped and confirmed accessible. When I subsequently rebooted the machine, Windows failed to connect the drives, saying they are not accessible, the username or password is incorrect.

Go into the Windows credential manager and delete any credentials you see for the NAS.
You can also try this test: Open CMD and enter
net use * /delete /y net use z: \\nas-ip-address\data /user:admin nas-admin-passwordusing the real NAS IP address and password of course. That should map the full data volume to drive letter z.
Be careful with the two different slash directions in the above commands.

I cannot see any credentials that resembles the NAS. What does that look like?
