Windows 10: can't access samba share after Windows fresh install and Tron+supmaxi/Debloat-Windows-10

Hey folks!

I had to reinstall Windows 10 and as usual I applied the Tron script, this time I also applied the set of scripts supmaxi/Debloat-Windows-10 ( https://github.com/supmaxi/Debloat-Windows-10 ).

Problem is now Windows can't find my Ubuntu samba share: I tried everything, enabling smb/1,2,3, disabling Firewall. I couldn't even activate Automatic Discovery from the configuration window, every time I activated, it got reverted back off, I solved that by enabling services ( DNS Client, Function Discovery Resource Publication, SSDP Discovery, and UPnP Device Host ) so now when I go to networks I can see my router drive, but still can't see my samba share. If I navigate to it \\192.168.0.14 I get "windows can't get access" and diagnostic finds no problem. This same share was working perfectly for years in my previous Windows install and I can access this through WinSCP, this is not a Ubuntu problem, this is a Windows thing.

It's driving me nuts, please help!

Thanks!

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.

How to clean install Windows 10 from a USB drive - Software - Feature - HEXUS.net

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Samba Shares don't show up in Windows 10 Network


I have a peculiar Samba share issue.

I was running Windows 7 on my laptop. I have a file server running Linux and Samba. When I open the Network icon in Windows 7, I see my server there and I can open it and access the associated folder shares.

I upgraded to Windows 10. Now if I double click the network icon, I don't see any machines except my local client laptop. However, if I enter the UNC path to my samba server (\\myserver) into the path bar of Windows Explorer, I can access the server. If I want to add a network printer to my laptop that is shared by the server, it won't find the server in the search list. However, I can enter the literal UNC path to the printer and add it. So it has something to do with nmb I think? Not sure.

Any suggestions on how to resolve it?
