  2. Windows 10 File Explorer cannot access Synology NAS

    I am using a HP laptop with Windows 10 Home and suddenly over the last several days a Synology NAS cannot be accessed from the laptop.

    More information:

    The version of Windows 10 Home - 1803

    I have two other PC in the house and both can access the Synology NAS

    I also have several Android tablets - they can access the NAS

    On the laptop (with the issue) I also have a Synology management software product - It CAN access the NAS and open files

    I originally mapped the NAS several months ago on the laptop and the mapped drives worked as expected until yesterday,

    Yesterday I started getting messages saying "… the network path was not found." every time I tried to access/map the NAS

    After several reboots of the laptop (yesterday) I was finally able to map the NAS, but only by typing in "\\ (NAS Name) \" before I started the mapping process.

    This morning the same mapping (that worked yesterday evening) is not working and giving the same error message I saw yesterday morning.

    Just to recap

    Running laptop - windows 10 Home (1803)

    Mapped NAS drives worked fine until yesterday

    Synology management software on same PC can access the NAS and open files

    Several other PCs can open files

    I was able to re-establish connections yesterday by specifying the NAS name when I restarted the mapping

    Today the mapping does not work (again).

    Re-using a hard drive from Synology NAS in windows 10 PC

    Synology sign in

    I have a new windows 10 HP laptop v1903. Clicking on this PC shows connected devices. My problem is that clicking on DS.213j opens the Synology hard drive without a password being needed. I usually open the Synology in my main PC by searching under
    "Internet" where it can be opened but requires a password. On my laptop the Synology is not listed under "Internet" only HP Laptop is listed.
