Windows 10: Forget The NAS

In the last year, it seems like my two computers like to keep things and not keep things, meaning settings keep getting changed and then I have to go back and redo them. So my question is this: Can I still have my windows 10 Pro running windows and at the same time use it as a NAS server? I did find this one program on line called "FileZilla", but I'm sure others have found something better. Any suggestions? I really don't want to purchase a NAS unit just for file backup.
Thanks

Hi Peter,

A few possible reasons can cause this issue. To help us identify the cause of this problem, we would like to know the following information:

• Are you using a program provided by the manufacturer of your NAS box to access it?
• Do you receive any error messages when accessing your NAS box? If yes, what is the exact error message?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

Network attached storage (NAS)

OKAY... I get the laptop thru all the updates by using the troubleshooter. Now I still cannot see my NAS in file explorer BUT there is one file listed in quick access that is on the NAS. If I open file location I can see everything on the NAS (WOOHOO)
but if I close file explorer and reopen it the NAS does not appear(?).

I am sure there is a small tweak that needs to be made but at least if I don't loose the quick access I will be able to access my files.

One step forward!!!!

Thanks,

Len

p.s. still working on the desktop
