Windows 10: Build 9226 - cant connect to shares?

Thanks gmc. *Smile

Additional
Other machines no longer appear in Network (File Explorer) but at least I can access them using their IP addresses now.

 

Thanks for finding the registry update. It fixed my network problem with build 9926.

 

Recently installed the Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview Evaluation copy, Build 9926 from using Windows 8.1 Pro. I am having difficulties getting my home network to appear on any of my computers and or Smart TV's. Have "dropped" my windows firewall *W-10) and Windows Defender and still can not visually see them on anything other than my server computer. I am able to access my network printers via the server; however, cannot see any videos, pictures, documents, etc. on any of the other computers via my network. Have double checked my AT & T Uverse wireless router and performed resets; however, still having the same problem. Not sure if it is because of the Windows 10 preview software not perfecting any network that is installed on it or not; however, I thought I would post it to see if anyone else is having difficulty with the same thing. Prior to installing Windows 10 was not having any difficulty what so ever with the network, so it is probably due to the new software that I upgraded to. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

I don't know if it will help you much but I have U-verse at the center of my home network and everything works after the registry change in this thread. After installing build 9926 I changed the workgroup name to match my other computers and the computer name. I also changed parameters in Network and Sharing Center. If you use homegroup you will need to adjust that in your new install. I don't use homegroup so I left the homegroup that was automatically assigned during the installation. I use user accounts and passwords instead of the homegroup.

 

Thanks for this. I was having the same problem trying to access a Netgear ReadyNas via a VPN.

 

The solution (without registry tweaks) appears to be to set up a password-protected user account on the network device containing your shares and then enter those account details (name and password) as a Windows Credential in the Windows 10 credential manager (which can be accessed through Control Panel). This works for Windows shares as well as samba

 

Thank you, Elizabeth, just removed my regedit and added the credential as advised and it works fine. Certainly a more elegant solution and, no doubt, how it is supposed to be done.

Must remember this for the future!!

Hi there

You've gone TOO far down the route -- if you can't SEE or access the remote system in the first place you won't get to a login screen anyway.

It's obvious there are some problems with Networking and W10 -- different solutions of course. I don't use Home groups so Home group related problems are a different system.

Use whatever works for you of course. In general accessing by IP address should always work but that's a pain especially when using DHCP.

My b9926 wouldn't connect to other machines, using any method, unless I hacked the Registry (on two clean installs).

I also tried upgrading a working b9860 VM to b9926 and the "upgrade" broke file sharing.
I haven't got around to hacking that VM's Registry yet, so no file sharing.

 

Thank you so much. I haven't been able to access any pc on my network for weeks, and if I'd only come here first I'd have fixed problem in minutes.
This is my new favorite forum *Smile

 

I have a new WD MyCloud NAS and used that registry hack but it was posted in the WD MyCloud forum.

That fixed the access problem but I've been using LAN Speed Test from Totusoft only six bucks. For instance I get a read speed of 734Mbps on W7 and 8Mbps on W10TP. I don't know if the app insn't compatible with W10TP or what but I did email them today asking about that.

EDIT:
Appears to be an app issue as the author had me try his Lite version which gave much different results but haven't heard back from him yet.

 

There appears to be numerous networking issues with b9226 and I've been following the threads. I have found simply that with 7 talking to 10 you cannot share a drive but you can share a folder. With 10 talking to 7, it doesn't matter if its a drive or a folder.

My issue is that with all of my trial and error, I now have a list or 'dead' shares that will not drop off the list. That is to say, when my Win7 PC searches the network under Win 10, I see a list of shares that no longer exist.

I cannot find where these are listed in 10 so that I can delete them.

Has anyone else seen this?
