File sharing - WINDOWS 10 - ReadyNAS no longer connecting
Cannot see/access/satisfy-password on ReadyNAS NV+ and ReadyNAS 516 on Windows 10 home -- after the Windows update last week. Now: Windows 10 home, Version 1511, OS Build 10586.11 I simply ...

For OS6 models we'd recommend running 6.5.2 or later. 6.5.0 and later has the new WSD discovery service.
With Windows 10 you also want the workgroup on the NAS to match the one on your PC.

Upgraded to Windows10 Home today and ReadyNAS102 disappeared from networks in Explorer. It is ping-able and I can get to admin by typing it's IP. Taking steps from here and the Synology Link, it is now working. Steps: On ReadyNAS go to Apps and install SMB Plus. Launch it. Select tab for SMB Version. Choose SMB 1. Restart ReadyNAS On PC: Run regedit. Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/System. Create a new DWORD entry with the name EnableLinkedConnections and value 1. Command Prompt Admin Mode: sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi sc.exe config mrxsmb20 start= disabled Restart your computer. My Readynas now appears in explorer under networks. I guess the sum of this is to force SMB1 on NAS and in Win 10. The last step is to make a huge mental note that if Ms or Netgear ever release a patch to SMB3.x you will need to undo the above :) Thats it. Good luck!

If you're using the preview releases of Windows 10, you might check to see if it works without dropping down to SMB1 now...
I'm currently on the "Fast Ring" for the Windows 10 previews, and after the last update (Build 11099), it started working as expected with no changes needed. I would think this means that if you choose not to use the preview releases of Windows 10, it will work when the next "stable" build comes out.

Hi I have two Netgear 4 disk RN104s with firmware 6.5.1 (upgraded this monring from 6.5) along with Windows 10 home edition build 10586.420 and up until this last weekend (18 June 2016) I was able to access the NAS by mapping them as a network drive or as netwrok locations. Since June 18 I cannot access the NAS via a mapped drive or via a network location. I can get to them via ip and login.
I ran the entire pathch recommended and intstalled the SMB app as well as ran the recommended changes to windows registry and command line etc. It did not fix my problem. I now need to know how to undo the whol thing. Espescially need to know how to undo the command line portion: "sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi" and "sc.exe config mrxsmb20 start= disabled" Also if there is a new fix since this post, please let me know.
Thanks,
DM

Hi this patch did not work for me. Please let me know how to undo the following command:
sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
Also to undo the following command I assume I just use the "enabled" switch?
sc.exe config mrxsmb20 start= disabled

Never mind I found the following link under Microsoft Support on how to re-eanble SMB2 and SMB3. The link is:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2696547
The commands to undo the disablement of SMB2 and SMB3 to reverse the above commands from Destne's solution is:
To enable SMBv1 on the SMB client, run the following commands:
sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/mrxsmb20/nsi
sc.exe config mrxsmb10 start= autoAnd futher, to enable SMBv2 and SMBv3 on the SMB client, run the following commands:sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/mrxsmb20/nsi
sc.exe config mrxsmb20 start= autoTo undo the regedit, just delete the DWORD entry you had made with the name EnableLinkedConnections and value 1And finally remove/"uninstall" the SMB Plus app on the ReadyNAS server.DM- mdgm-ntgrOct 12, 2016NETGEAR Employee Retired
