RN104 not visible to Windows 10 after Windows Update
After Windows update to Version 1709 Build 16299.125 my ReadyNAS 104 (Firmware 6.9.1) is not vivible to Windows any more. Drive letters and links do not work anymore. Device is vsible over ip and works with Mac computers. Changes in Windows network configuration were in vain. Thx for help.

Microsoft has been tightening up guest access, so it might be that.
After you run CMD on the PC and try the net view command, you can also try
net use * /delete
net use t: \\nas-ip-address\data /user:admin nas-admin-password
Be careful on the typing (spaces and slash direction), and of course use the actual NAS ip address and admin password.
The first command clears out any open network sessions, the second one attempts to mount the NAS data volume as drive letter t. It assumes your data volume is named "data" - which is the default.
If that works, then your problem is almost certainly related to guest access. You can solve that by setting up a windows credential for the NAS in the Windows Credential Manager.

Did you checked your share seetings in Network Access >> SMB >> Advanced?
Also - can you try to run
net view remote_machine_name
in your command line on Win10?
I guess it could be related to changes in SMB version support or SM settings on your Windows 10 machine...

I had exactly the same problem and spent many hours trying to get this figured out.
As a temporary measure, I mapped the shares using the IP rather than the NAS name and that worked fine with less messing around than the NET USE method.
In the end, I reset the password for the NAS in the Credential Manager and all was hunky-dory once again.
Thanks StephenB for pointing me in the right direction.
