ReadyNAS Duo v2 & Windows 10
OK, so I just upgraded to Win 10 and now I've lost contact with the ReadyNAS. In file explorer I can see it under NETWORK. When I select it I get the error: "Network Error" "Windows cannot access \\NETSTORE"
Not problem running RAIDar (4.3.8) and no problem getting to the settings with Chrome. All indications are that it is running fine (Raidator 5.3.11). I can access it with other computers on the network (all running Win 7.) The previous mapped network drives also error out.
I can see the device as a media device under explorer (using the full name as "This PC\NETSTORE: ReadyNAS Duo v2" and I can navigate to the media folders. I can access the music files, some of the picture files, but not the video files.
Everything has been updated to the latest version. Everything has been rebooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Interesting, it didn't do that with my Win 7 upgrade.
I think the issue is the microsoft account (the logon format isn't recognized by the NAS).
Try going into the credentials manager (type that in "search the web and Windows"), and enter a windows credential for the NAS (using a NAS user account and password). If you have no accounts set up on the NAS, then use the NAS admin account.
EDIT: our posts crossed... But you can continue to use your microsoft account if you set things up properly in the windows credential manager.

What happens if you enter \\NETSTORE into the file explorer address bar?
Is Windows 10's network connection classified as "private"
Are the NAS and Windows configured for the same workgroup?

Do you have to use a Microsoft account to logon? It is not obligatory with Windows 10.
Perhaps stick to the traditional windows logon method and ensure that the windows logon details match those of a user on the nas.
Type Credential in the search box for Win 10, then select Credential Manager. Then select Windows Credentials.
There may or may not be any Windows Credentials listed (top line.)
Select Add a Windows Credential
device will be "\\netsore_name_here
username and password come from the setup on your Netgear box.
Should be good to go.

Correct. You can optionally substitute \\nas.ip.address for the device if you prefer not to use the name (this assumes you've reserved the IP address in the router, or it is static).
- Same problem with last version (update today on RN 102)
Auth window appear : i enter login/password and auth window appear again... i enter again my login/password.... "windows can't access...."
With net usr cmdlet it's ok! What I habe to do please to fix this? Someone can help?
I've a fresh install to sure that windows system is clear! - Follow the directions on page 1. If you us the admin logon info from your NAS in the credential manager you should get access back.
Make sure Raidar can still see the NAS. Also check that you can access the NAS using Chrome or Edge or whatever. Type the IP address for the NAS directly into the browse (like 192.168.50.50)
If you can't do any of that, go back and answer the questions from page 1, like how do you login to Windows, local or Microsoft, etc.
