Windows 10: Force Windows use guest account with SMB v2

I have been testing an anonymous shared folder on my Synology NAS, which my laptop Windows 10 Pro can access with guest account.


I thought it was due to the configuration default or explicit for Windows 10 Pro, but it was largely because the NAS SMB service was limited to v1. Once I raised the protocol to v2, my Windows laptop cannot connect with guest account regardless of the administrative template policy


Computer configuration\administrative templates\network\Lanman Workstation > Enable insecure guest logons

What other extra configuration am I missing to let guest account credential flow through successfully?
