Windows 10: Lost permission to access my Buffalo nas drive since windows updated

A few days ago windows did an automatic update and since then I am not able to access my Buffalo Nas drive which is mapped as "Q" on my desktop computer.


When I click on the drive in windows explorer it tells me that I do not have permission to access \\LS-WVL300. Contact your network administrator to request access.


What went wrong?

Buffalo NAS external drives & Windows 10 will not connect

I had the same problem, running Windows 10 and had been using the Buffalo NAS drive LinkDrive for years it stopped working, probably after a windows update.

I could see the drive using the NAS Naigator 2 app, could ping the drive, and could access it from another machine but couldn't access it.

Eventually resolved it by

Control Panel - Programs and Features - Turn Windows features on and off

and enabled:

SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support

Restarted and everything worked.

 

Buffalo NAS external drives & Windows 10 will not connect

I just started having this issue as well.... I can see my Buffalo NAS LS220D in the Buffalo Nas Navigator 2 and access the admin management panel. Yet windows cant access the share or map a drive letter. It was working just fine last week. My wife's windows
10 laptop accesses it just fine. I am wondering if the last windows 10 update is the issue. Her machine updated the KB3189866 just fine all automatic. Mine I had to do a manual install of it since it was getting stuck at 45%. As I am typing this I went into
Check for Updates to get that KB number. Noticed that it shows ready for me to install this update yet it is already showing installed in Update History as of 9-14-2016. This is driving me insane I have attempted a ton of fixes to get it working to no avail.

 

Buffalo NAS external drives & Windows 10 will not connect

I was running windows 8.1 and was connected through my wired network to 2 Buffalo NAS drives but once I upgraded to wins 10 I could not longer access them. I can see them through my laptop running win 8 plugged into my network but not with any PCs
running Win 10. I have read many post on win 7 and wireless problems and tried those fixes but nothing seems to work. The buffalo software see them and sets them up but I can not access them through Windows.
