You can get Windows to force credentials either via Mapped Network Drive or using Windows Credential Manager
the root cause is Win10 1709 doesn't allow access SAMBA using guest accout,

if not all shares disable guest access, set "map to guest = bad user" in smb config,
if all shares disale guest access, set "map to guest = never" in smb config.
Note: if set "map to guest = never", Windows will pop-up login page to let user input user name and password,

Using credentials on all the windows systems works too, and would allow SMB guest access for other devices (older media players for instance).
There are a couple other ways to get this working on <= 6.9.1 without touching Windows group policies.
1) Create a user account on the NAS that matches the name of the user that you're logged in to Windows as. So, if your Windows account name is stephenb, create a NAS user account named stephenb.
2) Change the SMB3 Transport Encryption option to Required. (However, this will have a major performance impact on RN31x and lower desktop models)
