My solution is as follows:

1. Go to: "Control Panel > Credential Manager > Windows Credentials"

2. Once here, click on "Add a Windows credential"

3. Type in the network address or local name in the "Internet or network address" field

4. Type in the username you set up to access your NAS in "Username"

5. Type in the password to access your NAS in "Password"

I have tried this with a Netgear Readynas Duo and it worked as soon as I added these credentials (I added an entry for the IP address and another for the local name).

I have a problem exactly like what NJRadioGuy described!

After the latest Windows 10 (pro) updates, I can't see the NAS anymore from a file explorer. It's driving me nuts, and it's wasting hours and hours of my work time.

These are the recent Windows updates (not including security updates)

2/13/16 KB3136561

This is on an ASUS N550JX-DS74T Laptop. I have another old Dell laptop running running Win 10 Pro. It stopped being able to access the NAS and then after the very latest update, it can access the NAS again. But with the ASUS, no dice. I can connect to the admin portal via a browser. There are no problems reported on the NAS.

I checked all the settings that others have mentioned in this thread. What else can I try? Please help!

  Hi symedley,
  
  Welcome to the community!
  
  I presume you can still access your NAS files via File Explorer using \\NAS-IP\ Just patiently wait for the next windows updates that will be available in your PC.

    Um, okay. Can you explain why this problem is happening? Is there a known issue in the recent Win 10 update?
    
    Thanks,
