Windows 10: Can see NAS drive but cannot map it

Hi,

I'm using Windows 10 and can see the NAS drive when I click on 'Network' in File Explorer, but when I go to 'This PC' I cannot map the NAS.

Becoming very frustrated. It works fine on my other laptop (that I want to get rid of)

Mapping network devices such as NAS drives.

Dear Support,

I am having a massive problem with finding NAS devices on my network so I map them as network drives.

I had not changed any network configurations, but now I do not see my NAS drives in the list under "Network", nor can I map my NAS drives.

My previous mappings are fine and work OK. However, even the drives that were previously mapped that work OK do not appear in the list for the options of mapping network drives now.

I am running Win 10 latest version on an Intel 7th gen CPU, wired Ethernet.

I have checked to see that all my firmware is up to date, including router, NAS, network driver. I have checked that sharing is on, and turned off firewalls, made my network type private. I have searched every forum and technical note, and tried every video
out there, but I am at the end of my tether with this problem.

The problem seemed to occur after updating Windows. Everything was working fine before, completely flawlessly.

I am basically now completely fed up with the situation, and my only option left is to move all my computers to Linux. The problem has basically cut off access to data I need to work and is costing me money and time. I basically just want to cry as there
is no solution anywhere that I find. The Windows update has broken my network.

If anyone has any answers, please let me know.

Thanks for your time in advance.

Kind regards, Ben.

 

Map NAS drive Windows 10

I see other people noting this issue but on Windows 10 I am no longer able to log into my NAS drive which is sitting on a WiFi router, I was able to do this easily from Windows 8, but sadly not after the upgrade. The issue seems to be the authentication
process that Windows 10 wants to use if you try and map the drive. I can see the NAS drive but just not able to log in. It looks like a domain issue. I have had a read of the posts and this seems quite common, but no workable solutions appear to be proposed
that I can find. Any suggestions?

 

RPC error: cannot connect to NAS drive

Since upgrading from Win7(64) to Win10(64), I have been unable to connect to my NAS drive (\\NET_DRIVE). While I can see the drive in windows for mapping a drive, File Explorer and Network Sharing, when I try to map the drive, I get the following error:
\\NET_DRIVE is not accessible.... A remote procedure call (RPC) protocol error occurred.

• The NAS drive is connected to my WiFi router, not to a remote computer.
• The user profile I'm using has administrative rights
• This problem did not occur when running Windows 7. It started when I upgraded to Windows 10

How can I fix this so I can access my NAS drive?
