Maybe try removing the msdfs root=yes from shares.conf and see if that changes the behavior.

Can you advise how i edit the shares.conf file? Do i do this via the UI? Ive been trying to locate how i can upload the file.

One option is to use vi, which is installed on the NAS (and a pain to use).

If you can install the NFS client on your windows PC (and enable NFS on the NAS shares) you will regain access to your shares. You need Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise to install the NFS client (which is done via "turn windows features on or off"). And of course this assumes that whatever is causing SMB to crash on the NAS won't affect NFS.

Then you could copy the file to a NAS share, and then edit it on a PC with Notepad++ (not notepad). Make sure you go into edit->EOL Conversions and set it to Unix (LF) before you save the file.
