Access issues after upgrade to Win10 V1803 (I think it's a Windows issue, not a NAS one).
OK. So in the last week, Microsoft has upgraded my three Windows machines (two desktops and a laptop) to V1803. After the upgrade, only one of the desktops is acting strangely. All three machines ...
If it were linked to SMB1, I don't get why it wouldn't have the same effect on all three computers. But I can try enabling it.
I thought I had previously set my local internet as "sites allowed", but maybe whatever caused this reset it. If I can get rid of that damned prompt, I can live with what I've got. But it still makes me wonder why I have to.
I know I did a NET USE on one of the other computers and it didn't add an IPC$ connection.
That's the odd thing I can't figure out. Why did this happen on only one of three computers? But thatnks for the suggestions. I'll let you know what more I find out.
@StephenB:
WS-Discovery is different from NetBIOS name resolution. You can see in this link how WS-Discovery is listed separately from NetBIOS. I don't think WS-Discovery is enabled by default.
Read the Microsoft article. Depending on various circumstances, Windows 10 can decide to remove SMBv1 support. For example, a clean installation will remove client support if it is not used after 15 days. OTOH, a system upgraded from an earlier version of Windows won't uninstall it. This could explain why you see different behavior on your computers.
