Windows 10 Install: no longer able to access NAS shares
Hi, I upgraded 3 days a go to Windows 10 Enterprise build 16299. It was an installation from scratch I sadly have no longer access to any of my SMB shares. Access was working on Windows 7: see i...
More on this.
I managed to access the shares by doing the following in NAS web GUI:
- Accounts/Users: I created a user with same credentials as the PC-USER I am logging with under windows 10
- I assigned the created user to a group allowed read/write
Now, I can access my NAS shares under windows 10
However, for me, this is not a fix.
Under Accounts/Authenthification, I have "Account type" set as "Local Users".
I need, even if not recommended, to access the NAS through the NAS local admin account. The way I do it know is not possible.
Also, ehy windows 10 is not able to negociate the prompt for user/password when accessing my NAS despite I set the "Authenthification" to "Local Users" in NAS
For me, it seems clearly an issue with the NAS and how it is exposing things to windows 10
PS: I am under last OS 6.9.1

There is another active topic on this issue
It is an issue in the way windows 10 negociates SMB access and the Netgear NAS response
Or when windows wants to talk to linux...
Cosmetic fix for now is to create a common credential in NAS and windows + disable all guest access on shares
OS 6.9.2 will fix this from the developers statements
