    Network Drive not accessible from one machine in network


    I am having networking problems since the 1803 update. My network includes 1 desktop and 5 laptops. The desktop is my server and has a drive that is shared with all machines. 4 of the laptops can access the 5Ghz wireless network I have. The last laptop can only access the 2.4Ghz due to the age of the machine. Before 1803, I was able to access the network drive with all machines with no problems and had the drive mapped in all of the laptops. Now, I can access the internet but I can't access the network drive. I can't find any other machine on the network. I can't ping any of the machines either. I have verified that SMB 1.0 has been enabled. I also have Function Discovery Provider Host and Function Discovery Resource Publication enabled. I'm currently at a loss on how to resolve this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

  2. KB3185614 Not allowing Network Shared Drive Access

    Hi Nivay,

    To address your concern, we would like you to check the following:

    • After updating, check your Network profile under Network and Sharing Center, make sure that it is set to Private and not Public.
    • If you are using a third party antivirus software, make sure that the
      Network drive
      is set to Trusted.
    • Ping the network drive and check if you're getting a reply.
    • Access the network drive through it's IP address via run field and not through the existing shortcut, then check if it is accessible.
    • If the network drive is accessible via IP address, we would suggest you to re-map the network drive and delete the previous one that has the red X mark.

    Thank you.

    Windows Security blocking access to other network machines

    One of my Windows 10 machines has started asking for a username and password to connect to other computers on the network. It won't allow access to any other machines. I can access all the other machines from the other computers on the network. this is
    the only one that won't connect. Thoughts?
