Windows 10 Security Certificate problem.
When connecting to Windows 10 (1511) I get the usual Security warning.
I remember I got it fixed once before, but cannot remember everything.
Had a look through and cannot find an amser that works.
Hi BaJohn,
Are you pertaining to the security certificate when accessing the admin page via web browser? If yes, try accessing the admin page via http://NAS IP Address or follow the steps from this article. If not, provide more details or perhaps screenshot of the error that you encountered.
Kind regards,

With Firefox you can create a security exception, which will ignore the warning.
With Chrome, Edge, or IE you need to install the NAS self-signed cert in the Windows trusted root CA store. Personally I just click through it - the process is more trouble than its worth.

Yes - it is the sites security message etc etc.
Thank you for the inof re Chrome. Unfortunately I use Edge ... the default browser on Windows 10.
Do we have a similar process for Edge, or is it impossible?

The guidance I saw on Microsoft's site (posted last August) said to install the cert in IE.
The cert is actually installed into Window's cert store. So if you follow the instructions for IE or Chrome, then Edge should also use the same cert.
IMO it just isn't worth the effort unless you are using https routinely to access shares. Installing the cert just makes the warning go away, it doesn't improve the security.
