Windows 10: After the latest update of Window 11, I can no longer access my Western Digital PR4100 NAS

. It shows up in both the network view and the explorer, but when clicked to access returns the error: "Windows cannot access \\MYCLOUDPR4100" Error code: 0x80070035 Network path not found.

NAS access for remote users

I would pretty much ask you to find a NAS setup that doesn't do what you list.

Anyway I'm using Western Digital's My Cloud 4-bay NAS - PR4100 NAS...

• It allows multiple users (not sure the number)
• It actually "requires" an Ethernet connection
• Can definitely map drives
• Does allow the assignment of users and groups

Synology, and QNap pretty much do the same. It's just a matter of Cost, OS, interface, and features that may lead you to prefer one over the other.

 

Cannot access Western Digital NAS with File Browser after upgrading to Windows 10

Just over a month ago I upgraded from Windows 7 Home 64-bit to Windows 10. After the upgrade I found that I was no longer able to access a Western Digital MyBookLive NAS on my home LAN network through the File Browser, or indeed with the file browsers of
any of the installed programs. Subsequently, I rolled back to Windows 7 largely due this problem and in part as a result of issues that arose after attempting to recover a disc back-up of the Windows 10 system that I had created after upgrading.

I raised the MyBookLive access problem on the Western Digital Community forum and have been avidly monitoring the responses that have have come back. Here is the thread:

Windows 10 Cannot access My Book Live with File Browser

Clearly others are experiencing the same or similar issues. Some have suggested various workarounds and hacks, which to my mind should not be necessary, and I certainly to not wish to find myself having to try this and that to see if it works. There needs
to be a formal fix for this problem, whether that needs to come from Microsoft or Western Digital. Current opinion from that thread is that the problem lies with Windows.

As such, I am addressing it here first. Please, no suggested hacks.

Thanks.
