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)

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.

Kind regards,

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

Thanks,

  It has been reported by several windows-10 users recently, though it is working on my systems.
  
  Showing up in the Windows Network list has always been a bit hit-or-miss. You can add a network location (which shows up in the main pane), create a windows shortcut to shares (or the NAS share list), or just enter \\nasname or \\nasname\sharename in file explorer if its not there.
