Windows 10: NAS automatically connects on Windows Laptop but not Windows PC

I set up a network storage thing for my computer so I can share stuff between my pc and my laptop. I don't have static IP so the NAS device's IP will change sometimes. My laptop copes with this fine but my computer does not.I noticed on my laptop the NAS is called its name ¥¥NAS not its name but its formatted that way but on my PC it's just the IP address, this is goes for all of it: it's called sambashare [IPADDRESS] on my pc but on my laptop its sambashare ¥¥NAS}. Is there a way to make these align so I don't have to keep checkinng the new IP?Also its not visible on the network sharing

NAS PC vs Windows PC + Home Sharing

If you run via Windows PC (Win 7, Win 8, Win 10 and so on) you can max have 10 concurrent connections.
Are you running Windows Server editions or a Linux based NAS (FreeNAS or other NAS boxes) there are no limitations.

 

NAS PC vs Windows PC + Home Sharing

Both a NAS and a PC has its advantages. Personally, I'm a build a PC and use it as a server type of person(but I get the Windows license for free). I'm also comfortable configuring Windows 7/8/10 to work as a server, and setting up the necessary functions. Obviously the PC is more flexible, but there are a lot of NAS solutions out there that offer quite a bit of add-on software features to let the NAS do a lot of things. NAS devices aren't just dumb file storage devices anymore.

Usually, a NAS is going to give you more for the money if the primary goal is to just have a central place to store and access files on the network. Most of them offer hot swap drive bays, which is nice when a drive dies(and they will die). They offer RAID, especially RAID5, which a lot of cheaper PC motherboard don't. A NAS is easier to just setup and get going. They also, usually, take up less space. They also tend to consume less power than a full PC does.

It is actually 20. And each device that connects to the server counts as one, no matter how many connection a single device actually creates, if they are all coming from the same device it only counts as one connection to Windows.

 

Windows 10 random automatic repair after changing boot priority.

Hello. So i have an Windows 10 Pro. Sometimes when i am changing in bios boot order from USB to HDD ( SDD ) windows starts booting with AUTOMATIC REPAIR and then restarting. Is this something with BIOS \ Windows 10 bug related? Tested on pc and on laptop , and sometimes it doing the same.


Situation on PC first,listen:

Few days ago after i change boot in UEFI BIOS from USB to SSD.
Then Windows 10 showed at 1 boot Automatic Repair.
When starting Windows 10 boot loader starts by "preparing automatic repair" and diagnosing pc.
Interesting is that if I restart Windows (after procedure mentioned earlier) it will boot normally. This startup problem was occured only when starting system again after shutdown or restarted pc from windows.So i was needed 2 boots to boot properly to windows.
But on pc, format was needed to remove completely issue and after format is fine.

Pc :
2x8gb Kingston Hyperx 1600mhz DDR3
SSD samsung Evo 250 gb
4790k stock
Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2 with UEFI BIOS


Now laptop with old standard bios:
On laptop i made the same operation, change boot from USB to HDD and on first boot Windows 10 shows Automatic Repair. But it happened once and i cant reproduce. No format was needed.

laptop is very old with 2gb ram

Why on pc format was needed when on laptop not?



Thanks for suggestions.
